Abstract	Current and future accelerator projects are pushing the brightness and intensity frontier, creating new challenges for turn-by-turn based optics measurements. Transverse oscillations are limited in amplitude due to particle losses. The LHC Transverse Damper (ADT) is capable of generating low amplitude ac-dipole like transverse coherent beam oscillations. While the amplitude of such excitations is low, it is compensated by the excitation length of the ADT which, in theory, can last for up to 48h. Using the ADT, it is possible to use the maximum BPM acquisition length and improve the spectral resolution. First optics measurements have been performed using the ADT in the LHC in 2023, and the results are presented in this paper. Furthermore, some observed limitations of this method are presented and their impact on ADT studies are discussed.
