Book excerpt: Construction of the SLAC Linear Collider has posed some new problems in beam diagnostic device design. Typical beam sizes are small when compared with conventional storage rings, orbit tolerances are tighter and the pulsed nature of the machine means that signal to noise enhancement by averaging is not always possible. Thus the diagnostics must have high resolution, high absolute accuracy and must deliver data from a single pulse. In practice the required performance level depends on the function and dynamics of a given region in the collider. This paper reviews the major beam diagnostic systems and then discusses the global data acquisition schemes. Each system is described only in a very cursory fashion.
