Abstract After a recent upgrade, the vertical test facility for SRF cavities at Fermilab features a low level RF system capable of testing 325MHz, 650MHz, 1.3GHz, and 3.9GHz cavities, helium liquefying plant, three test cryostats, and the interlock safety system. The cryostats can accommodate measurements of multiple cavities in a given cryogenic cycle in the range of temperatures from 4.2K to 1.4K. We present a description of the components of the vertical test facility. We also discuss cavity instrumentation that is used for diagnostics of cavity ambient conditions and quench characterization.
