  The beam diagnostics equipment in modern multi-particle, multi-energy cyclotrons for research in nuclear physics is reviewed, using the superconducting cyclotron AGOR at the KVI as an example. An extensive set of diagnostics tools has been integrated already in the design stage. It includes three scanning probes for beam centering, a scanning probe for the measurement of radial and vertical beam oscillations and beamlosses, beam phase pick-ups to optimize isochronism of the magnetic field and profile and current measurements along the beam path through the four movable extraction elements. The operating experience gained since the start-up of the cyclotron in 1996 is discussed for the various diagnostics tools and improvements are described.
