  Along 2017 and 2018, a complete upgrade of ALBA magnetic measurements lab has been done. Upgrade has affected both hardware and software. Regarding hardware, a relevant innovation has been the replacement of DC motors by step motors in new Hall probe bench and in flipping and rotating coil benches. Up to now, this kind of continuous measurements usually were done using DC motors because step motors were considered unable to fulfil the required smoothness of the movement. However, current step motors state of the art made them compatible with DC. In our case, we have tested the performance of upgraded benches and they reach the same accuracy, or even better. Regarding software, we have unified all motion drivers to ICEPAP and all control system to Tango package, taking advantage of the last ICEPAP firmware. That includes the feature of triggering data acquisition system by signals generated from different axis that can be selected by software.
