BPM measurements in booster synchrotrons are often only critical during accelerator commissioning or when a problem occurs. As a result, many facilities do not make large investments in booster BPM signal processors; they either have very few BPMs and/or use older generation processors. The SPEAR3 booster BPM processor system, for instance, has operated since 1990 with commercial multiplexers to switch between BPM button signals into a single dated analog BPM processor that was developed at SLAC*. This system has reached its end-of-life so we are in the process of upgrading to modern multiplexers that feed a pair of turn-by-turn Libera SPARK-ERXR processors. This low-cost solution gives us the ability to arbitrarily multiplex between BPM signals during the energy ramp with modern BPM processors. The system can either measure 2 BPMs turn-by-turn in parallel during the entire energy ramp, or sequentially measure all BPMs (2 at a time) at different time slices within the ramp. Here we show measurements of the MiniCircuits switch we chose as well as our architecture for the upgrade.
