The betatron tunes and related parameters like chromaticity and coupling have to be measured in RHIC from its first day of commissioning. This report describes various measurement techniques and their possible realizations. In general the beams must be excited externally due to the absence of inherent oscillations with significant amplitude. External excitation causes emittance growth which have to be limited in magnitude in particular on the operational beams for luminosity production.
