Abstract

The experience and performance over the past three and a half years of operation is reported. The dynamic range of the monitor has been increased by an improved cooling of the CCD chip with the help of Peltier cells. The contributions from the diffraction and the depth of field have been evaluated with precision in order to estimate the beam emittances. Comparisons and cross calibrations with the wire scanners have been started. A video frame grabber and fast projection calculation for real time beam size display has been implemented
