	The Australian Synchrotron Light Source (ASLS) uses a 100 MeV linac as the start of the acceleration chain for the injector. The two main accelerating structures of linac are normally fed by independent pulsed klystrons. A recent upgrade to the waveguide system has allowed for a single klystron to power both accelerating structures. While this operation mode delivers a reduced total beam energy, the operation of only a single klystron results in less wear and enhanced robustness against klystron breakdown. Commissioning results of single klystron operation of the linac are shown and future benefits are detailed.
