As the next generation of accelerator technology pushes towards being able to achieve higher and higher gradients there is a need to develop high-frequency structures that can support these fields *. The conditioning process of the structures and waveguides to high gradient is a labor-intensive process, its length increases as the maximum gradient is increased. This results in the need to automate the conditioning process. This automation must allow for high accuracy calculations of the breakdown probabilities associated with the conditioning process which can be used to instruct the conditioning procedure without the need for human intervention. To automate the conditioning process at LANL’s high gradient C-band accelerator test stand we developed FEbreak that is a breakout probability and conditioning automation software that is a part of the FEmaster series **, ***, ****. FEbreak directly interfaces with the rest of FEmaster to automate the data collection and data processing to not only analyze the breakdown probability but also the dark current effects associated with these high gradient structures.
