Abstract
The concept of a current meter for DC beams based on commercially available SQUIDs has been implemented and tested in a series of prototypes. One of them is expected to be used for monitoring the beam of our Antiproton Accumulator. After a brief explanation of the principles of operation, pick-up-loop design, magnetic and RF shielding considerations these prototypes and the experience acquired with them is described.
