[en] An overview of beam instrumentation requirements at the SSC and a status report on work progress is given. Small transverse emittance beams, ranging in energy from 30 KeV to 20 TeV, must be commissioned, measured, and diagnosed. Instrumentation plans and current design and development efforts for BPMs and other systems are presented. Monitors and electronics soon to be delivered for use in the Linac are described. Design of the Linac systems has been done with requirements and applications in the synchrotron in mind and thus should provide a basis for design of much of that hardware. The useful commonality of design across the machines is discussed
