Rotating coil probes are essential for measuring harmonic multipole fields of accelerator magnets. A fundamental requirement these is their accuracy, which typically implies that the need to be very stiff and straight, have highly accurate knowledge placement windings, an ability buck well in order suppress effects vibrations. Ideally, R&D test environment, probe fabrication should also easy low-cost, so parameters (type, length, number turns, radius, etc.) can customized magnet requiring...
