libscale - accelerator scaling functions
libscale is a collection
of functions used for scaling accelerator parameters to new values.
mngrlib(3mngr)
functions and a configuration table are used
to provide access to many of the user tunable parameters in the library.
Configuration group 1 (
CFG1 ) is used to associate
a device used to read a magnetic field with the appropriate control used
to change the field.
The readback is a field reading parameter ( MfieldR
) from a hall probe or an NMR. It uses read1 in the configuration file.
The control is usually the MfieldC control associated with the bending
magnet. It uses comm1 in the configuration file.
The index field is used
to associate comm1 and read1. i.e both have the same index value.
If the
parameter is a device such as a magnetic steerer or a magnetic quadrupole
no such association needs to be made in the configuration table and the
control will be scaled using the formula for magnetic scaling.
There are several constants
associated with the charging system and TPS.
CFG2 is used for them.
- const0
The maximum number of LE shorting rods which can be placed in the accelerator.
- const1
The maximum number of HE shorting rods which can be placed in the accelerator.
- const2
The maximum column current. - const3
The maximum terminal voltage. - const4
The number of charging chains in the system. - const5
The chain constant. This is expressed as the uA of charging current per
KV of charging voltage. For example: 3.0 = 3uA/1kV. - const10
Initial value for probe quiescient current. - file1
The TPS probe piece table
Note that the usage of this may be a little
strange and maybe it will go way therefore I gave it a high const number
so that if it is eliminated other items won’t have to change assignments
in the mngr conf file. - rlk 1/16/2001
See
scalelib.h for a list
of the functions contained in the library. See the manual page for each
function for a description and argument usage.

The manual pages for the functions haven’t been written yet.
Yes, this
manual page is inadequate..... but what else is new.
