Abstract For sophisticated beam manipulation several ring accelerators at FAIR and GSI like the main synchrotron SIS100 and the ESR will be equipped with barrier bucket systems. Hence, the associated LLRF has to be applicable to different RF systems, with respect to the cavity layout and the power amplifier used, as well as to variable repetition rates and amplitudes. Since already the first barrier bucket pulse of a long sequence has to meet certain minimum demands, an open-loop control on the basis of calibration data is foreseen. Closed-loop control is required to improve the signal quality during a sequence of pulses and to adapt to changing conditions like temperature drifts. A test setup was realized that allows controlling the signal generator, reading out the oscilloscope as well as processing the collected data. Frequency and time domain methods can be implemented to approach the dynamics of the RF system successively and under operating conditions, i.e. generating single sine pulses. The setup and first results from measurements are presented as a step towards automated acquisition of calibration data and iterative improvement of the same.
