The SLC wire scanner beam profile monitors provide accurate measurements for use in beam feedback systems and automated beam optimization procedures. Beam profile measurements can be performed throughout much of the SLC with no interruption to normal machine operation and no adverse impact on interaction region detector backgrounds. In this paper we describe the design, construction, performance and uses of SLC wire scanners with particular emphasis on the integration of the scanner with the accelerator controls. In keeping with the workshop nature of this meeting the difficulties encountered in the design and commissioning process will also be described.
