Abstract

Measurements of more than 1000 new magnets are needed for the main injector project at Fermilab. In order to achieve efficiency and accuracy in measurements, a database-driven design was chosen for control of the measurement system. A relational database will be used to describe the measurement subjects and equipment. A logbook system defined in the database will provide for prescription of measurements to be carried out, and a comment database for less-structured information. The operator interface will be built on X-windows.<>
