History 2002 to 2005 – Standard Magnetic Measurement Analysis using semi-automatic system (manual and excel macros); data analysis targeted at filling in ID Cards  Focus was mostly on measurements at injection and at nominal current, TF ramp-up, components (integrated and local). 2006 – For FIDEL, full cycle verification required to enable modelling. This prompted a re-iteration of all the analysis of MB data set. Hurdle - Previous problems encountered in manual data analysis were not logged. - Many magnet specific problems and different combinations of hardware/analysis problems to be taken into account - Some cycles were hard to identify - Limited time and resources Solution - To increase efficiency, full automatic MB data analysis system designed, tested and implemented. Includes a logging system and a quick viewer. Allows data analysis and retrieval in one-shot. 22nd February 2007 Status of MB Data Retrieval

Standard Magnetic Measurement Problems Mechanical Problems: broken shaft Electrical Problems: damaged ribbon cable, damaged connection Electronic Problems: amplifier drift, amplifier gain, over-range Measurement Set-up Error: wrong coil calibration factors Operation error: error in cycle settings, error in data entry 22nd February 2007 Status of MB Data Retrieval

Data Analysis Problems High deviation (larger than 6 units) of main field (at least one sector) compared to integrated – 80% Erroneous data from connection of sector of a shaft – 10% Erroneous data from inverted connection of sector – 5% Incomplete measurement – 5% Gain Shift in TF – 35% Problems with gain at 1500, 2000A – 30% Wrong Data entry by operator (temperature, magnet name) – 4% 22nd February 2007 Status of MB Data Retrieval

Analysis Procedure Identify correct cycle Extract Data Identify erroneous sectors (delete or correct) Fill in log file Identify wrong points during cycle (delete or correct) Extract data Fill in Log file Check all hysteresis cycles and compare to the whole population Final cross check correct cycle with semiautomatic results (still to be done) 22nd February 2007 Status of MB Data Retrieval

Depending on number of problems encountered Possibly: end of March Results Cleaned Data - Loadline: 417 apertures - Machine Cycle: 406 apertures Still to do: Machine Cycle final check and correction Apply shifts to the TF gains for currents lower than 5000A (35%) Identify correct coil configuration of 4 magnets Final cross check between old semi-automatic results and fully automatic results Ready end of Feb Depending on number of problems encountered Possibly: end of March 22nd February 2007 Status of MB Data Retrieval
