Advanced experimental techniques are being developed to do in-situ analysis of DC and RF breakdowns. First measurements with a specially built spectrometer have been made with a DC spark setup at CERN and with CLIC accelerating structures in the 30GHz power test facility. This spectrometer measures the light intensity development during a breakdown for narrow wavelength intervals in the visible and near infrared range which will give information about the involved elements, temperature and plasma parameters and eventually precursors of a breakdown. Planned experiments for X-ray spectroscopy and imaging, measurements of RF-signals and ion and electron energy distribution and infrared imaging of breakdown sites are presented.
