  In modern free electron laser facilities like FLASH and European XFEL a high resolution intra train bunch arrival time measurement is mandatory, providing a crucial information for the beam based feedback system. At FLASH and European XFEL a reliable arrival time detection with a resolution better than 0.1% is required for a broad range of bunch charges, from 1 nC down to 20 pC. The system developed is based on electro-optical sampling where an ultra-short pulsed laser is employed. Several bunch arrival time monitors (BAM) were developed and are since 2012 in operation at the FLASH facility. A major upgrade involved the development of new hardware and software based on the MTCA standard. Special operation mode at both facilities includes the possibility to subdivide the bunch train in up to three segments, each with different bunch energy and charge, causing variation of the time jitter within the bunch train itself. A further upgrade includes the measurement of the arrival time and application of delay correction for each of the three segments. In this poster, we describe the development, installation and commissioning of the hardware, firmware and software of the new system.

  The installation phase of the European X-ray free laser electron laser (XFEL) is finished, leaving place for its commissioning phase. This contribution summarizes the low-level radio frequency (LLRF) installation steps, illustrated with examples of its challenges and how they were addressed. The commissioning phase is also presented, with a special emphasis on the effort placed into developing LLRF automation tools to support the commissioning of such a large scale accelerator. The first results of the LLRF commissioning of the XFEL injector and first RF stations in the main linac are also given.

  We present a compact RF control system for SCRF single cavities based on MicroTCA.4 equipped with specialized advanced mezzanine cards (AMCs) and rear transition modules (RTMs). To sense the RF signals from the cavity and to drive the high power source, a DRTM-DWC8VM1 module is used equipped with 8 analog field detectors and one RF vector modulator. Fast cavity frequency tuning is achieved by piezo-actuators attached to the cavity and a RTM piezo-driver module (DRTM-PZT4). Data processing of the RF signals and the real-time control algorithms are implemented on a Virtex-6 FPGA and a Spartan FPGAs within two AMCs (SIS8300-L2V2 and DAMC-FMC20). The compact single cavity control system was tested at Cryo Module Test Bench (CMTB) at DESY. Software and firmware were developed to support all possible modes, the short pulse (SP), the long pulse (LP) and CW operation mode with duty cycles ranging from 1 % to 100%. The SP mode used a high power multi-beam klystron at low QL ~3·106. For the LP mode (up to 50% duty cycle) and the CW mode a 120 kW IOT tube was used at QL up to 1.5·107. Within this paper we present the achieved performance and report on the operation experience on such system.
