Tools for Validation and Analysis of a Large Amount of Experimental Data from Magnetic Measurement System: a Case Study at CERN

A flexible and easy-to-implement management structure for large amount of measurement and test data is proposed. Its main aim is to cope with industrial and research environment where the difficulty to make measurements requires to minimise the number of measurements campaigns and maximize the use of the data taken in these campaigns. This goal is achieved by providing well-defined structures for raw data storage and Data Base storage and clear separation between the analysis processes. A case study on test data of superconducting magnets for the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is illustrated for managing present and future magnetic measurements requests.
