Commissioning of a new high brightness electron source for the Energy Recovery Linac at Cornell University is currently underway. Despite the fact that the beam dynamics in this portion of the accelerator is space-charge dominated, a fundamental understanding of the machine linear optics is crucial in that it determines the effectiveness of space-charge emittance compensation methods, as well as provides the means to achieving various beam parameters such as beam length and energy spread. Here we introduce a new numerical tool being used in the commissioning of the injector that provides linear optics matrix calculation using field maps for various optical elements.
