	Funding: This work is part of FEDER-TRACKS project, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) . As part of the 5 MW European Spallation Source (ESS), the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) was designed, assembled, and installed in the tunnel since May 2020 by ESS-Bilbao. This section of the accelerator is located between the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and the Drift Tube Linac (DTL). The main purpose of the MEBT is to match the incoming beam from the RFQ both transversely and longitudinally into the DTL. The longitudinal matching is achieved by three 352.209 MHz RF buncher cavities. In this paper, we focus on the RF conditioning process for each set of power coupler and buncher cavity. For this purpose, different tools were developed on EPICS and Python as well as electronics hardware such as Fast Interlock Module (FIM) and timing system. These tools served to automatize both the cavity frequency tuning and the power ramp-up process and will be described in detail in the following sections.
