The skew and emittance packages should have the same familiar look and feel when performing measurements from the SCP panels or correlation plots. The displays are very similar, and the database is currently preset so that the default wire selections are the same as the previously hard-coded configurations. The major software modifications involved in this support should become apparent only when a user desires to select different wires or a different number of wires for a measurement. The wire selection criteria for these coupled-emittance measurements may have to change to suit the requirements of the 4D emittance calculation software. The Active IDIM Display button is used to see the current MPG IDIM rate limiting state.

The old Rate History Display button has been moved up one panel to the Beam Option Panel, and it remains temporarily in its original location on the BGRP Control Panel. This is in anticipation of removing the Rate History Display from its original location on the BGRP Control Panel, where space is at a premium. Online help is still available for the Rate History Display button in its new location on the Beam Options Panel. It has been observed that it is difficult to tell, from the Rate History Display, which IDIM bit is presently causing the most severe rate limiting at the current time. So we have added Active IDIM Disply to the Beam Options Panel located next to the Rate History Display button.
