Description

The Canadian Light Source (CLS) is a 3rd generation synchrotron commissioned in 2005. In the years since, technology has advanced dramatically, facilitating new options for instrumentation tools. The CLS has begun replacing expensive commercial BeamGage cameras running proprietary software with inexpensive highly capable Machine Vision (MV) cameras. This paper describes the use of open source Python packages (numpy, scipy, etc) along with inexpensive MV cameras to measure beam parameters such as major and minor axis, elipticity, and orientation, based on raw beam images and Guassian approximations fitted to the data. The results are compared to those generated by the BeamGage system.
