During the gap between the SITF decommissioning and the start of SwissFEL, all key components underwent design improvement. In this paper, we report on these new developments, including the mechanical design of the BAM-Pickup and RF-front end, the electro-optical front end (BAM-Box), the data acquisition front end, the new expert- and user applications. We have developed concepts and tested hardware for Bunch-ID stamping of signals, relevant for the extraction of the arrival-time information. Presently two complete systems are installed and being commissioned at SwissFEL - one in the injector gun and one between the two bunch compressors. We report on the ongoing first commissioning results.
