MAD82MADX

Functions

converts mad8 sequence files to madX

mad8TOmadx(seqfilemad8)#: converts mad8 sequence files to madX

function [seqfilemadx]=mad8TOmadx(seqfilemad8)

This procedure reads a saved sequence in

mad8 (SAVE,FILE=’seqfilemad8’;)

and converts it to madx sequence

every = goes to :=

the order of the declarations is the same in the two files.

works also with single mad8 files not containing comands, only

definitions.

does not translate call to files since those may change name

parameters:

- seqdilemad8=name of the mad8 lattice file

- periodname (optional)= name of the period to use in madx (default is the filename)

update 29-2-2012 : corrected a bug that would not translate correctly

markers, kickers and monitor declared only by element name (“BPM: monitor” would not convet properly)
