A Flexible Software Framework for Magnetic Measurements at CERN : a Prototype for the new Generation of Rotating Coils

The new software platform FFMM (Flexible Framework for Magnetic Measurements) under development at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in cooperation with the University of Sannio is presented. The FFMM is aimed at facing the new test requirements arising after the production series of the Large Hadron Collider magnets. In particular, the basic concepts of the FFMM, its architecture, and the experimental implementation of a proof demonstrator are illustrated in order to show how the quality requirements of software flexibility and scalability are met.
