Within any thin film development program directed towards SRF accelerating structures, there is a need for an RF characterization device that can provide information about RF properties of small samples. The current installation of the RF characterization device at Jefferson Lab is Surface Impedance Characterization (SIC) system. The data acquisition environment for the system has recently been improved to allow for automated quicker measurement, and the system has been routinely used for characterization of bulk Nb, films of Nb on Cu, MgB2, NbTiN, Nb3Sn films, etc. We present some of the recent results that illustrate present capabilities and limitations of the system.
