  A key com­po­nent to meet­ing the bright­ness tar­gets of the LHC In­jec­tors Up­grade (LIU) pro­ject at CERN is the new 160 MeV H charge ex­change in­jec­tion sys­tem into the Pro­ton Syn­chro­tron Booster. This sys­tem has been in beam com­mis­sion­ing since De­cem­ber 2020, op­ti­miz­ing the beam pro­duc­tion schemes for tai­lor­ing dif­fer­ent beams to the re­spec­tive user-de­fined bright­ness tar­gets. In this paper, se­lected mea­sure­ments from the beam com­mis­sion­ing pe­riod are pre­sented, char­ac­ter­iz­ing the sys­tem’s flex­i­bil­ity to pro­duce the re­quired wide range of trans­verse emit­tances. The dis­cus­sion fo­cuses on the es­sen­tial op­ti­miza­tion of the in­jec­tion set-up to min­i­mize space charge dri­ven emit­tance blow-up and in­jec­tion er­rors. The re­sults are com­pleted by se­lected com­par­isons with multi-par­ti­cle sim­u­la­tion mod­els of the in­jec­tion process.
