	The Free-Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is now equipped with a MicroTCA-based (MTCA.4) low-level radio frequency (LLRF) system, to replace the previous VME system and to serve as a test bench for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) LLRF system. This paper presents details on the new FLASH LLRF system setup, including installations inside the radiation prone tunnel environment. The benefits and preliminary results of the newly installed system are also given.

	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.

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.
