We describe the NMR and Rb Zeeman frequency shift polarimeters used for determining the {sup 3}He polarization in a recent precision measurement of the neutron spin structure function g{sub 1} at SLAC (E-154). We performed a detailed study of the systematic errors associated with the calibration of the NMR polarimeter. A new technique was used for determining the {sup 3}He polarization from the frequency shift of the Rb Zeeman resonance.
