  At ELETTRA, a Streak Camera system has been installed and tested. The bunch length is a significant machine parameter to measure, as it allows a direct derivation of fundamental machine characteristics, like its broadband impedance. At ELETTRA the Light from a Storage Ring Dipole is delivered through an optical system to an Optical Laboratory where it can be observed and analysed. The Streak Camera is equipped with different timebases, allowing both single sweep and dual sweep operation modes, including the Synchroscan mode. The Synchroscan frequency equal to 250 MHz, which is half of the ELETTRA RF frequency, allows the acquisition of consecutive bunches, 2ns apart. To fully exploit the performances of the Streak Camera, an optical path has been arranged which includes a fast opto-electronic shutter. By doing so, the optical power deposited on the photo-cathode is reduced in the different ELETTRA fillings.
