The search for a charged particle EDM in a storage ring with the goal of a statistical sensitivity of 10^-29 ecenterdotcm/year requires a very sensitive polarimeter. Studies described here have shown that systematic error effects can be handled and corrected to a sensitivity better than the required 10^-6 level. The required statistical precision was shown to be attainable using a thick scattering target onto which the stored beam is slowly extracted. Models for geometric and rate systematic error effects describe the results well.
