ABSTRACTThe MUCOOL project aims to study RF cavities for the Neutrino Factory and the Muon Collider. The large emittance muon beams in these accelerators require high-gradient RF cavities at low-frequencies and they need to operate in the presence of relatively strong magnetic fields. MUCOOL is conducting a number of tests on 805MHz and 201 MHz cavities in order to develop a technology that can meet all of these requirements. An automated conditioning system was developed for the 805MHz test program for MUCOOL. This system was designed to replicate the logic a human operator would use when conditioning an RF cavity and to provide automated logging of the conditioning process.
