Button beam position monitors will be the main BPM type used to measure the electron beam position at the European XFEL. Two different kinds of buttons are necessary: one type will be installed in the acceleration modules of the cold linac and the other in the warm environment. The electro-magnetic design of the feedthrough for both types of buttons will be discussed. A comparison of the designed and measured RF properties will be presented. In addition to the usual RF properties, also the properties at cryogenic level will play a role. HOM power must not heat up the BPM feedthroughs, in order to keep the cryo load of an overall accelerator module low, and also to prevent damage due to large temperature gradients over the ceramics of the feedthrough. First measurements with beam at FLASH show good agreement of the measured signals with the expectation.

Dark current is produced due from field emission in the accelerator. This generates a radiation background in the tunnel which damages the electronics and activates components. To decrease the dark current different methods like kickers and collimators are used. To control the dark current level and measure and optimize the efficiency of dark current reduction dark current monitors are required. To measure the dark current a cavity was designed and built with the operation frequency of the accelerator. Here the small charge of the dark current present in every RF bucket induces and superimposes a field up to a measurable level. The cavity is proven at the PITZ facility. In addition to dark current levels down to 50 nA, the monitor allows for charge measurements resolution below pC, better than the Faraday cup. In addition the ratio of amplitudes from higher order monopole modes is a function of the bunch length. Measurements show the same trend of bunch length compared with a destructive streak camera method with comparable resolution. Therefore this monitor is able to measure bunch charge, dark current and bunch length in a non-destructive manner.
