The Paul Scherrer Institute builds, runs and maintains several particle accelerators. The proton accelerator HIPA, the oldest facility, was mostly equipped with CAMAC components until a few years ago. In several phases CAMAC was replaced by VME hardware and involved about 60 VME crates with 500 cards controlling a few hundred power supplies, motors, and digital as well as analog input/output channels. To control old analog and new digital power supplies with the same new VME components, an interface, so called Multi-IO, had to be developed. In addition, several other interfaces like accommodating different connectors had to be build. Through a few examples the upgrade of the hardware will be explained.

High brightness electron bunches will be guided in the future Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL) at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) with the use of several hundred magnets. The SwissFEL machine imposes very strict requirements not only to the field quality but also to mechanical and magnetic alignments of these magnets. To ensure that the magnet specifications are met and to develop reliable procedures for aligning magnets in the SwissFEL and correcting their field errors during machine operations, the PSI magnet test system was upgraded. The upgraded system is a high precision measurement setup based on Hall probe, rotating coil, vibrating wire and moving wire techniques. It is fully automated and integrated in the PSI controls. The paper describes the main controls components of the new magnet test setup and their performance.
