  The study of high gradient limitations due to RF breakdowns is extremely important for the CLIC project. A series of diagnostic tools and analysis techniques have been developed in order to monitor and characterize the behaviour of CLIC accelerating structures under high power operation in the first CERN X-band klystron-based test stand (Xbox1). The data collected during the last run on a TD26r05 structure are presented in this paper. From the analysis of the RF power and phases, the location of the breakdowns inside the structure could be determined. Other techniques based on the field emitted dark current signals collected by Faraday cups placed at the two extremities of the structure have also been investigated. The results of these analyses are reported and discussed.
