Using the perl/PDL script, beam sizes for Y (quad scan 0) and X (quad scan 1) were measured. These beam sizes were put into a "sdds" file so the nominal CEBAF emittance/TWISS tool could be used to plot and fit the data.
Two fits are performed a simple Least Squares Fit and one based on MINUIT. The LSF is also used to seed the MINUIT fit.
Y plot and the GUI with results for the first quad scan.
X plot and the GUI with results for the second quad scan.

Discussion
Since this was a more or symmetric setup the agreement for X and Y beta's/alpha's is encouraging. The emittance agreement is within a factor of two which isn't such an alarming discrepancy. A factor of two agreement for a CEBAF measurement is considered a success, but we have an asymmetric complicated machine.
