Precision geometric parameter gage for synchrotron radiation

This article includes the description of the geometric parameter gage device prototype for synchrotron radiation of HERA collider (DESY). The system construction which capable to measure photo current, caused by such a radiation in a refractory metal, described here. The system component parts are: measuring heads and photo current measuring electronics designed by IHEP, stepper motor by Vacuum Generators with HEDS-550X encoder by Hewlett Packard, PCI-STEP-4CX 4-Axis Closed Loop Step controller by National Instruments. The device is controlled by means of Microsoft Visual Basic program using Value Motion Windows Libraries. The device prototype was tested in the beam of the DORIS storage ring.
