Recent improvements to the next generation beam loss monitor analog front end used on the SNS accelerator have proved successful. Particularly in the removal of incident EMI noise sources and the reduction of RF cavity X-Rays and non beam related "loss" signals. The prototype system under development allows the users to view true beam loss integrated as part of the machine protect system. Sucessful measurements of activation during non-beam times have also been made. This paper is an overview of the improved electronics and the results of the ongoing checkout and verification of this system.
