The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) has been built to test and to optimize electron sources that fulfill the requirements of SASE FEL's such as FLASH and XFEL. Basic properties of the electron beam such as mean momentum, momentum spread, transverse emittance etc. are determined using measurement of the beam size on YAG or OTR screens. Detailed knowledge of the uncertainties and systematic errors associated with these measurements are important to understand the underlying beam physics. The screen stations consist of a screen set-up, an optical transmission line to a CCD camera, and the video data acquisition system. In this paper we make a detailed description of the screen based beam size measurement systems that we use at PITZ and discuss the systematic errors of uncertainties associated with each single element of a system.
