Abstract

An interface to the DIMAD beam optics computer program enables the operator to simulate the sequence of magnet adjustments that would be used online for tuning the Stanford Linear Final Focus System. The program accepts any input beam matrix from a disk file and presents a menu of magnet adjustments and scan and display options. The results of a ray trace calculation are presented as profiles or envelope plots on the graphics screen. Results from studies of the beam´s optimization under various input conditions are presented
