Magnetic fields in the solar corona are the dominant fields that determine the static and dynamic properties of this outermost region of the solar atmosphere. It is within this tenuous region that the magnetic force dominates the gas pressure. Direct measurement of the coronal magnetic field is one of the most challenging problems in observational solar astronomy. To date, one of the promising measurement methods that have been successfully demonstrated is the spectropolarimetric measurement of the Fe XIII 10747 A forbidden emission line (CEL) (Lin, Penn, Tomczyk 2000; Lin, Kuhn, Coulter 2004; Tomczyk et al. 2007) formed due to Hanle and Zeeman effects. However, because coronal measurements are integrated over line-of-site (LOS), it is impossible to derive the configuration of the coronal magnetic field from a single observation (from a single viewing direction). Recent development in vector tomography techniques based on IR forbidden CEL polarization measurements from several viewing direction (Kramar, Inhester, Solanki 2006; Kramar, Inhester 2007) has the potential to resolve the 3D coronal magnetic field structure. In this paper, we will present a study of the effects of instrumental characteristics on the results of vector tomographic inversion using simulated data. We also investigate the sensitivity of the vector tomographic inversion to different coronal magnetic field configuration.
