Variations in strength of a sextupole magnet in a storage ring result in changes to the closed orbit, phase functions and tunes which depend on the position of the beam relative to the center of the sextupole and on the beam size. Such measurements have been carried out with 6 GeV positrons at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. The initial analysis presented at IPAC21 has been extended to both transverse coordinates, introducing additional tune shifts and coupling kicks caused by skew quadrupole terms arising from the vertical position of the positron beam relative to the center of the sextupole. Variations of strength in each of the 76 sextupoles provide measurements of difference orbits, phase and coupling functions. An optimization procedure applied to these difference measurements determines the horizontal and vertical orbit kicks and the normal and skew quadrupole kicks corresponding to the the strength changes. Continuously monitored tune shifts during the sextupole strength scans provide a redundant, independent determination of the two quadrupole terms. Following the recognition that the calculated beam size is highly correlated with the calibration of the sextupole, a campaign was undertaken to obtain precise calibrations of the sextupoles and to measure their offsets relative to the reference orbit, which is defined by the quadrupole centers. We present the measured distributions of calibration correction factors and sextupole offsets together with the accuracy in their determination.
