A two-arm pion polarimeter utilizing toroidal magnets is being considered for use with the polarized protons beam at RHIC. The system will enable measurements of beam polarization at all RHIC energies from injection to flattop. This is a necessary diagnostic tool for tuning the RHIC snake magnets and other polarization controlling elements. Toroidal magnets constrain the pion trajectories allowing the device to be compact so that it can fit within the limited space available. A viable magnet design has been completed and suitable target configuration and operating scenario have been identified.
