	The amplitude and phase of the RF field at the linear accelerator (LINAC) decides the beam quality. To study and to improve the performance of the LINAC system for Taiwan Light Source (TLS), a new design of a low-level radio-frequency (LLRF) control system was developed and set up for the TLS LINAC. The main components of the LLRF control system are an I/Q modulator, an Ethernet-based arbitrary waveform generator, a digital oscilloscope and an I/Q demodulator; these are essential parts of the LLRF feed-forward control. This paper presents the efforts to improve the LLRF control system. The feasibility of the RF feed-forward control will be studied at the linear accelerator of TLS.

An EPICS-based steering software system has been implemented for beamline personnel to directly steer the angle of the synchrotron radiation sources at the Advanced Photon Source. A script running on a workstation monitors "start steering" beamline EPICS records, and effects a steering by the value of "angle request" EPICS records that beamlines have set. The new system effectively bypasses floor coordinators and MCR operators, and makes the steering process much faster than before, although these older protocols can still be used. As with the original steering there are EPICS alarm limits that prevent large steering from occurring and avoid other problems. Error messages and statuses, OPI windows and alarm configurations are provided to the beamlines and the accelerator operators. Underpinning this new steering protocol is the recent refinement of the global orbit feedback process whereby feedforward of dipole corrector set points and orbit set points are used to create a local steering bump in a rapid and seamless way. In principle and in practice, many simultaneous steering commands from many beamlines are possible. We report on a complete 3-month run of experience.
