Magnetic measurement systems for future high performance magnets

This paper describes CERN's current capabilities and plans concerning the measurement of accelerator magnets, focusing on the challenge represented by upcoming projects featuring high-field, high-ramp rate dipoles and quadrupoles. After a brief overview of the existing instrument park we discuss the main future requirements, the issues they raise and the solutions we propose. In particular we describe three ongoing projects based on high-performance digital integrators (FDI), a related C++ software framework (FFMM) and a fast harmonic measurement system (FAME). Finally, we solicit timely input from the magnet community concerning key design parameters and we summarize our conclusions.
