A software application programme has been developed to allow fast, automatic, conditioning of the accelerating structures to be high-gradient tested at 30 GHz in CTF3. The specificity of the application is the ability to control a high power electron beam which produces the 30 GHz RF power used to condition the accelerating structures. It significantly increases the amount of time useable for high power conditioning. In this paper this fast control system, the machine control system, the logging system, the graphic user control interface and the logging data visualization are described. An outline of the conditioning control system itself and of the feedback controlling peak power and pulse length is given. The software allows different types of conditioning strategies to be programmed.
