	Funding: Work partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under project AIC10-A-000441 and AIC-A-2011-0654. Among all the LIPAc/IFMIF accelerator diagnostics instrumentation, the Beam Position Monitors are a cornerstone for its operation. A new approach for the LIPAc/IFMIF beam position monitors acquisition electronics is proposed for the twenty BPM stations distributed along the accelerator. The new system under development is a fully digital instrumentation which incorporates automatic calibration of the monitors' signals and allows monitoring of both fundamental and second signal harmonics. The current state of the development and first experimental results of the system on the test bench will be presented.

	Funding: Work partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under project AIC10-A-000441 and AIC-A-2011-0654. The LIPAc accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. Several types of Beam Position Monitors BPM’s- are placed in each section of the accelerator to ensure a good beam transport and minimize beam losses. Prototypes of almost all the BPM’s have been already fabricated. Acceptance tests have been carried out on each device. The output of the vacuum leak tests and electrical tests will be analyzed in this contribution. In addition, the test bench to characterize the BPM’s has been upgraded and validated using some prototypes in order to obtain a better global measurement accuracy of the electrical center offset. The test bench can be used to crosscheck the simulations with the real response of each BPM. The result of the comparison will be discussed in detail.

	Funding: Work partially funded by the CDTI and supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under project AMIT, within the subprogramme CENIT-2009. The AMIT cyclotron will be a 8.5 MeV, 10 μA CW H⁻ accelerator which aims to deliver a beam for radioisotope production. In order to properly validate all the beam commissioning steps, a set of diagnostics needs to be implemented. They must cover all the commissioning phases: ion source characterization, medium energy acceleration and nominal energy at full current. Due to compactness of the design, the number of beam diagnostics is limited and restricted to the most essential ones during operation. An overview of the diagnostics that are planned for the characterization of the cyclotron will be discussed in this contribution. In all the commissioning phases, beam current probes are essential to validate the cyclotron and each subsystem. As a main diagnostic, a moveable probe has been designed and simulated for optimization of the cyclotron. The thermal simulations of the probe and the mechanical integration will be presented.
