The Low Emittance Gun Project (LEG) at PSI aims at developing a high-brightness, high-current electron source: a 20-fold improved brightness compared to present state-of-the-art electron guns. The source is intended to form the basis for a cost-efficient implementation of a high-power X-ray FEL light-source for scientific research at PSI. A field emitter array (FEA) cathode is being considered a source candidate. In order to study pulsed field emission from such a cathode and to investigate space charge compensation techniques as well as to develop diagnostic procedures to characterize the beam resulting from an FEA cathode, a 100 keV DC gun test stand has been built. The test stand gun and diagnostics have been modeled with the codes MAFIA and GPT. From extensive parameter studies an optimized design has been derived and construction of the gun and diagnostics have recently been completed. We report on the commissioning of the test stand and present first measurement results.
