  We have used the electron storage ring, NewSUBARU, as a beam monitor of the SPring-8 linac. The time and transverse profiles of the injected linac beam are recorded in a frame of a dual-sweep streak camera. A measurements through synchrotron or betatron oscillation in the ring gives multi-dimensional beam structure. The system functions as a final check of the linac beam. It gives the time profile and energy profile or transverse emittance, which includes Twiss parameters. It measures parameters of one linac bunch in a long macro pulse. A shot-by-shot measurement gives beam fluctuations. We report how we use the system and its contribution to the stable top-up operation. The beam loading effect on the bunch energy was obtained by bunch-by-bunch energy profile measurements. It confirmed the optimization of the ECS (Energy Compression System) parameters. The single shot bunch-by-bunch vertical emittance measurement proved the difference between the front bunch and the following bunches. The same measurement showed a timing jitter of the electron gun pulse although the rf synchronization was perfect. This jittering had made the injection efficiency unstable.
