ADT and Obsbox in LHC Run 2, Plans for LS2

The primary function of the LHC transverse feedback (ADT), is to damp the injection oscillations and to actively counteract the coupled-bunch instabilities driven by the machine impedance. While the damping function was there since the LHC start-up in 2008, during Run 2 the ADT also became a very important tool to perform active excitation of all kinds and various beam measurements through the whole cycle. High resolution, bunch by bunch, turn by turn beam position data is available within the ADT signal processing, which is made available for real-time, or offline analysis by means of ADTObsBox system. In line with the topic of this Evian LHC performance workshop, the paper documents how both systems evolved during Run 2 and provide an overview of expected upgrades and developments planned for LS2.
