  The MCOR-12[Magnet Corrector] is a 16-channel modular architecture, precision magnet driver, capable of providing bipolar output currents in the range from 12A to +12A. A single, unregulated bulk power supply provides the main DC power for the entire crate. Currently the MCORs have a 1000ppm regulation on the B-field. The MCOR controller card upgrades, existing LCLS-I and future LCLS-II needed, controls for Magnet Corrector Power Supplies. The project shifts the existing functionality of the VME based DAC and SAM and an Allen Bradley PLC into a new slot-0 card residing in the MCOR chassis. Elimination of the VME crate and the PLC will free up rack space to be used in future. The new interface card has a long term stability of 100 ppm and monitors ground fault currents and various other interlocks for the MCOR power supplies. The controller can interface to EPICS Channel Access and Fast Feedback system at SLAC using two Gigabit Ethernet ports and has an FPGA based EVR for getting 'time stamps' from the Event Generator system at SLAC. The EPICS control system along with embedded diagnostic features will allow for enhanced remote control and monitoring of the power supplies.

SLAC's Low Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) controls software for the S-Band deflecting structures needed to be upgraded significantly when a new X-Band transverse deflecting cavity (XTCAV) was installed downstream of the LCLS undulators in Spring 2013 to assist in FEL diagnostics such as characterizing the temporal profile of X-ray pulses that vary shot-to-shot. The unique location of the XTCAV in the beamline posed several challenges. A new design of the Modulator and Klystron control Support Unit (MKSU-II) for interlocking was added at the XTCAV controls station that required new software development. The timing setup was also different from the rest of the Linac. This paper outlines the LLRF controls layout for the XTCAV and discusses the manner in which the challenges were addressed. XTCAV has now become a successful tool for gathering data that enables reconstruction of X-ray FEL power profiles with greater resolution.

  The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is a free electron laser (FEL) facility operating at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC). A stripline beam position monitor (BPM) system was developed at SLAC [1] to meet the performance requirements necessary to provide high-quality stable beams for LCLS. This design has been modified to achieve improved position resolution in a more compact form factor. Prototype installations of this system have been operating in the LCLS LINAC and tested at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL). Production systems are deployed at the new PAL XFEL facility and at the SPEAR storage ring at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource at SLAC. This paper presents the design and commissioning results of this system.
