The vibrating wire monitors are used for measuring transverse pro-files of radiation beams of different nature. For increasing the accuracy of scanning, and in some cases escaping the scanning ...procedure (measurement of the beam profile using a matrix of wires), it is proposed to use several vibrating wires. A monitor of this kind with two vibrating wires spaced apart at some distance formed the measuring unit of the laboratory stand, developed by us for training students in accelerator technology. The features of such a two-wire monitor and, in particular, the problem of laser radiation power redistribution between the wires are discussed.
