| Abstract | A new wall current monitor was installed in the PS during the Year-End Technical Stop 2022-2023 with the aim of using it as a longitudinal beam quality monitor. In this note, recent developments concerning the implementation of longitudinal beam observation are presented. The current setup allows us to acquire data from 2 different acquisition channels with 8 different timing bursts in the same cycle. To take advantage of this possibility, a new operational application was developed in Python. It allows the operator or beam physicist to change settings of each burst of triggers and perform a multi-bunch tomography on the acquired data. This increases the amount of available data, speeds up the acquisition process, and prepares the foundation for future automated tomography and online beam quality monitoring. |
