Upgrade of the insertion device measurement benches and associated software at the ESRF

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) has built and characterized many insertion devices and magnets over the past decades. The magnetic measurements rely on dedicated benches, based on stretched wire for integral measurements and on hall probes for local measurements. A major upgrade of these benches is being developed. It includes new features such as coordinate measurents, upgraded acquisition boards and hall probes, and a new control software based on Python, HDF5 data format and Qt. The B2E software, used for computing synchrotron radiation and for shimming undulators, was completely refactored. This paper presents the architecture of these new benches, the status of the project and the first results.
