Abstract :
The SDDS EPICS toolkit has recently been enhanced by the addition of a general-purpose optimizer. The tool sddsoptimize is easily configured and has features that make it robust. The sddsoptimize program has been incorporated in many new Tcl/Tk applications used for various Advanced Photon Source tune-up operations, such as injection tune-up for the storage ring, coupling minimization of the storage ring, and the automatic phasing of the linac.
