Abstract Electron positron damping rings and colliders will require frequent tuning to maintain ultra-low vertical emittance. Emittance tuning begins with precision beam based measurement of lattice errors (orbit, transverse coupling, and dispersion) followed by compensation with corrector magnets. Traditional techniques for measuring lattice errors are incompatible with simultaneous operation of the storage ring as light source or damping ring. Dedicated machine time is required. The gated tune tracker (the device that drives the beam at the normal mode frequencies) and the bunch-by-bunch, turn-by-turn beam position monitor system developed at CESR are integrated to allow synchronous detection of phase. The system is capable of measuring lattice errors during routine operation. A single bunch at the end of a train of arbitrary length, is designated as the witness. The witness bunch alone is resonantly excited, and the phase and amplitude of the witness is mea- sured at each of the 100 beam position monitors. Lattice errors are extracted from the measurements. Corrections are then applied. The emittance of all of the bunches in the train is measured and the effectiveness of the correction procedure demonstrated.
