The CXLS X-rays will be generated by the inverse Compton scattering (ICS) collision of 200 mJ, 1 ps, IR laser pulses with 300 fs electron bunches with energy up to 35 MeV. The electron beam is accelerated via a photoinjector and three standing-wave 20-cell linac sections driven by two klystrons delivering up to 6 MW 1 µs pulses at 9.3 GHz with a pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz. For initial testing of the CXLS klystrons a hybrid digital-analog low-level RF (LLRF) driver has been developed which allows for inter-pulse phase and amplitude corrections based on feedback from waveguide-couplers. The micro-controller based system can also be programmed to adjust continuously in advance of predictable drifts.}, }
