PETRA III is a new hard x-ray synchrotron radiation source which will be operated at 6 GeV with an extremely low horizontal emittance of 1 nmrad. This new facility is the result of a conversion of the existing storage ring PETRA II into a light source. The conversion comprises the complete rebuilding of one eighth of the 2304 m long storage ring, which will then house 14 undulator beam lines, the optical and experimental hutches, and the modernization and refurbishment of the remaining seven eighths. In addition two 100 m long damping wiggler sections have been installed which are required to achieve the small design emittance. Construction, installation and technical commissioning have been finished middle of March and then the commissioning with beam started. In this paper we present the results that have been achieved during commissioning with special emphasis on the role of diagnostic systems.

The new synchrotron light source PETRA III is powered by a chain of pre-accelerators including Linac II, PIA, transfer lines, and DESY II. The whole chain is equipped with upgraded versions of diagnostic systems that were installed during the 2008 shutdown. This paper presents the upgrade of the beam position monitor (BPM) systems at PIA together with the transfer lines and DESY II. All systems rely on the ‘Delay Multiplex Single Path Technology’ (DMSPT). It is demonstrated that the self-triggered design of the BPM electronics is specifically suited to the different needs of such a heterogeneous pre-accelerator chain. Structures and dependencies of the BPM systems will be described in detail.
