To build a constant gradient traveling wave structure, one must perform cold tests under a press in order to tune the different cells individually. For the tests to be valid, the test cells must be terminated by shorting planes located in planes of symmetry in which the electric field vector is normal in such a way that the standing wave "trapped" between them is an exact representation of the instantaneous traveling wave one wishes to study. For the TW structure, the cavities are put three by three under the press. We then try to reduce the contribution of "mixed cells" by adding to one wavelength at 2π/3 mode two-quarter wavelengths. This is possible when the end-cells mode at the same frequency is π/2 instead of 2π/3. These end cells are not included in the final assembly. The setting process will be analysed.
