Utilizing the N beam position monitor method for turn-by-turn optics measurements

The N beam position monitor method (N-BPM) which was recently developed for the LHC has significantly improved the precision of optics measurements that are based on BPM turn-by-turn data. The main improvement is due to the consideration of correlations for statistical and systematic error sources, as well as increasing the amount of BPM combinations which are used to derive the beta-function at one location. We present how this technique can be applied at light sources like ALBA, and compare the results with other methods.
