  The correct K value of an undulator is an important parameter to achieve lasing conditions at free electron lasers. The accuracy of the installation of the undulator in the tunnel is limited by the accuracy of the instruments used in surveying. Moreover, the position of the electron beam also varies depending on its alignment. Another source of misalignment is ground movement and the resulting change in the position of the tunnel. All this can lead to misalignment of the electron beam position relative to the center of the undulator gap up to several hundred microns. That, in turn, will lead to a deviation of the ΔK/K parameter several times higher than the tolerance requirement. An automated method of aligning the middle plane of the undulator, using a K-monochromator, was developed and used at European XFEL. Details of the method are described in this article. The results of the K value measurements are discussed.

  To eliminate the impact of radiation shower on the incremental encoder readout and provide a better dynamic movement the upgrade of all 88 phase shifters of the European XFEL have been successfully done without interruption of the operation schedule. The implementation steps, as well as the results of the hardware and software tests made in the laboratory, are presented. The sensitivity of the Renishaw RGH22O15D00A encoder to the radiation shower was measured in the SASE3 undulator system, and the results are presented.
