Abstract :
A generalized emittance-measurement program has been developed. Beam line specifics are entirely resident in data tables, not in program code. For instrumentation, the program requires one or more multiwire profile monitors; one or multiple profiles are acquired from each monitor, corresponding to one or multiple tunes of the transport line. Emittances and Twiss parameters are calculated using generalized algorithms. The required matrix descriptions of the beam optics are constructed by an online general beam modeling program. Design of the program, its algorithms, and initial experience with it is described.<>
