abstract = {{Radio frequency (RF) conditioning is an essential stage during the preparation of particle accelerator cavities for operation. During this process the cavity field is gradually increased to the nominal parameters enabling the outgassing of the cavity and the elimination of surface defects through electrical arcing. However, this process can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring skilled operators to carefully adjust the RF parameters. This proceeding presents the software tools for the development of an automatized EPICS control application with the aim to accelerate and introduce flexibility to the conditioning process. The results from the conditioning process of the ESS Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and the parallel conditioning of Drift-Tube Linac (DTL) tanks will be presented demonstrating the potential to save considerable time and resources in future RF conditioning campaigns. }},
