Highly precise regulation of accelerator RF fields is a prerequisite for a stable and reproducible photon generation at Free Electron Lasers such as FLASH. Due to major improvements of the RF field controls during 2010 and 2011 the FEL performance and the beam stability was significantly
improved. This includes beside achieved RF field stabilities in amplitude below the 0.01% (rms) level and...

FERMI@Elettra is the soft X-ray, fourth generation light source facility at the Elettra Laboratory in Trieste, Italy. It is based on a seeded FEL, driven by a normal conducting linac that is presently expected to operate up to 1.5 GeV. To meet the requirements on phase and amplitude stabilitiy of the RF fields, state of the art technology must be adopted for the LLRF of the machine. The LLRF...

Following the PEP-II experience, Matlab based tools have been used at the LHC for multiple configuration, machine development, and diagnostic purposes. These include the remote setting and optimization of the cavity controller, monitoring of beam, RF, and LLRF parameters, as well as synchronous excitations and acquisitions of system parameters. A synopsis of these applications is presented,...
