Abstract: The Cooler Synchrotron (COSY) of the Forschungszentrum Jülich is a 184 m long racetrack-shaped synchrotron and storage ring for protons and deuterons from 300 MeV/c up to 3.65 GeV/c. The stored ions can be polarized or unpolarized. Built in are devices for stochastic cooling as well as electron cooling. Therefore a profile monitor was requested for checking the cooling efficiency. COSY is used, among other things, as test facility for FAIR. Hence a FAIR prototype ionization profile monitor was installed in COSY in 2007. Utilizing a MCP stack / phosphor screen and a CCD camera as readout system. Besides tests with the FAIR readout software, an alternative readout system was developed. It focuses more on online visualization of the beam profile with few frames per second. This differs from the FAIR system, which at that time was focused on high speed acquisition and post-processing of the data. The long-term experience with the system will be presented. Problems encountered during operation will be shown for discussion.
