Abstract A new digital three dimensional fast bunch-by-bunch feedback system has been installed and commissioned at ANKA. Immediate improvements to stored current and lifetime were achieved for normal user operation. For this, the feedback has to be running during the injection and the energy ramp to 2.5 GeV. Additionally, the feedback system was also incorporated into the diagnostic tool-set at ANKA and opened up new possibilities of automated and continuous measurement of certain beam parameters. The system can operate in different modes such as the low alpha operation mode, which has different requirements on the feedback system compared to normal user operation. Results on the various aspects will be presented as well as future improvements
