The Cryomodule Test Bench (CMTB) at DESY is equipped with a 100 kW Inductive Output Tube (IOT) allowing the test of superconducting cryomodules in continuous wave (CW) operation mode. Although significantly different from the nominal pulsed operation mode of the European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), CW operation can be handled by the same Low-level Radio Frequency (LLRF) system, within minor firmware modifications. The hardware details of the LLRF setup at CMTB, the firmware and software architecture and performance results from the last CW test are presented in this contribution.

In preparation for the series production of cryomodules for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), three pre-series cryomodules and several prototypes have been produced and tested at the Cryomodule Test Bench (CMTB) and at the Accelerating Module Test Facility (AMTF) in DESY. Among the numerous tests performed on the modules, the low-level radio frequency (LLRF) tests aim at characterizing the performance of the modules from an RF controls perspective. These integration tests must take into account cavity tuners, cavity motorized couplers, quench gradients, microphonics, piezo control and the overall gradient performance of the cryomodule under test. In this paper, the LLRF-specific tests are summarized and the first experimental results obtained at CMTB and AMTF are presented.
