42. LHC software - MAC November 0742 7/12/2007 FiDeL status Data collection has advanced at a reduced pace. Data available today covers about 60 % of the magnet families and work is in progress to complete the LHC Magnetic Archive. The work has focused on:  preparation of the structures for the synthesis of the model parameters (machine layout),  storage of the parameters (database supported by AB-OP),  retrieval and use of the parameters (FiDeL in the LHC controls). Tracking tests were performed in the benches of SM-18 to verify the accuracy of the model:  2 dipoles (MB2598, MB2624),  1 SSS (SSS064),  powered through LSA, implementing the FiDeL algorithm for field forecast and correction,  verified B1 tracking among sectors, B2/B1 tracking among main quadrupoles and dipoles, b3 and b5 correction at each dipole.  Fruitful AT-AB collaboration in the preparation, running and evaluation of the test results Luca Bottura
