Much of this tuning, including quadrupole magnet settings, is typically done by hand by the LCLS operators. In this paper we introduce an automated tuning system using Bayesian optimization, and describe its application to the optimization of noisy objectives such as FEL performance. We demonstrate with preliminary results from our implementation at LCLS that this system can improve both the speed of tuning procedures as well as the quality of the resulting solution.
