	The installation phase of the European X-ray free laser electron laser (XFEL) is finished, leaving place for its commissioning phase. This contribution summarizes the low-level radio frequency (LLRF) installation steps, illustrated with examples of its challenges and how they were addressed. The commissioning phase is also presented, with a special emphasis on the effort placed into developing LLRF automation tools to support the commissioning of such a large scale accelerator. The first results of the LLRF commissioning of the XFEL injector and first RF stations in the main linac are also given.

THOAB2	MicroTCA Technology Lab at DESY: Start-Up Phase Summary	3659
	T. Walter, M. Fenner, K. Kull, H. Schlarb DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Funding: The MicroTCA Technology Lab at DESY is a Helmholtz Innovation Lab (HIL-02) and jointly funded by DESY, the Helmholtz Association, and industry. Over the last decade, technology transfer has emerged as an important mission of major public research facilities. Funding agencies, regional governments and society at large have placed high hopes in the combination of scientific research and on-site technology transfer departments that can turn discoveries and research tools into marketable products. Pursuing economic interests while preserving scientific freedom is a delicate balancing act that requires novel instruments in finance, administration and governance. The Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres addressed this challenge with a set of new frameworks: the Helmholtz Validation Funds (HVF) and the Helmholtz Innovation Labs (HIL). MicroTCA is a case in point: Since 2009, DESY has upgraded this standard significantly to provide state-of-the-art LLRF systems for the facilities FLASH and European XFEL. When the technology sparked interest elsewhere, DESY bundled its transfer activities in the HVF project MicroTCA.4 for Industry (2012-2015) and the HIL project MicroTCA Technology Lab (since October 2016). We report on intermediate results achieved by the MicroTCA Technology Lab after seven months of operation.

THPAB105	Design and Operation of the Integrated 1.3 GHz Optical Reference Module with Femtosecond Precision	3963

	In modern Free-Electron Lasers like FLASH or the European XFEL, the short and long-term stability of RF reference signals gains in importance. The requirements are driven by the demand for short FEL pulses and low-jitter FEL operation. In previous publications, a novel, integrated Mach-Zehnder Interferometer based scheme for a phase detector between the optical and the electrical domain was presented and evaluated. This Laser-to-RF phase detector is the key component of the integrated 1.3 GHz Optical Reference Module (REFM-OPT) for FLASH and the European XFEL. The REFM-OPT will phase-stabilize 1.3 GHz RF reference signals to the pulsed optical synchronization systems in these accelerators. Design choices in the final hardware configuration are presented together with measurement results and a performance evaluation from the first operation period in the European XFEL.
