	NSLS-II state-of-the-art BPMs provide a single micron turn-by-turn BPM resolution for any bunch train of reasonable intensity. For certain beam dynamics studies a similar, or even better, resolution is desired for a single-, or a few-bunch fill, which is not yet available with our standard BPM signal processing. This paper describes our experience with more advanced BPM ADC signal processing which allowed us to significantly improve turn-by-turn BPM resolution in single bunch mode down to the level of about one micron at ~1 nC/bunch. We also present the examples of machine studies that benefit from this BPM performance enhancement.

NSLS-II state-of-the-art BPMs provide a single micron turn-by-turn BPM resolution for any bunch train of reasonable intensity. For certain beam dynamics studies a similar, or even better, resolution is desired for a single-, or a few-bunch fill, which is not yet available with our standard BPM signal processing. This paper describes our experience with more advanced BPM ADC signal processing which allowed us to significantly improve turn-by-turn BPM resolution in single bunch mode down to the level of about one micron at ~1 nC/bunch. We also present the examples of machine studies that benefit from this BPM performance enhancement.
