	The first computer controlled RF system for SC cavity characterization entered into operation at INFN-LNL in 1994. Since then it has been successfully used for testing SC cavities of different shapes and frequencies. Recently we performed an important upgrade on it in order to cover a wider frequency range and to take advantage of the better performance of nowadays electronic devices. The paper describes the present system layout, dedicated software, sequences of calibration and testing procedures and moreover discusses further upgrading possibilities.
