AB - The PSI cyclotron facility is in operation since four decades. Even though the design details of the original machine are well documented, doubts may remain, if all changes of the most relevant devices during 40 years of operation are known with certainty. Furthermore some measurements like magnetic field mappings and central region alignment measurements can be done only during the construction and assembly phase either for mechanical reasons, due to limited shutdown or maintenance periods or because of the activation of components. Therefore it is important to develop methods that allow to check important parameters during beam operation without a disassembling of components. An effective method to test the consistency of the data is based on the combination of beam tracking simulations and beam based measurements. We present some beam based alignment and calibration measurements concerning collimator positions, Dee voltage distributions, turn patterns, beam energy and trim coil field profiles using measurements of radial probes, phase pickups and profile monitors.
