Abstract	The employment of a suitable radioactive decay spectroscopy setup is essential for the operation of radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities. CERN-ISOLDE recently developed a new fast tape station (FTS) setup to replace its more than 40 years old predecessor. The new FTS is equipped with several β-detectors, a HPGe-detector, provisions for an α-detector, and constitutes a significant improvement in terms of transport times and detector noise characteristics. Since 2021 it is routinely used as the primary asset for yield determination and quality control of produced RIBs at ISOLDE. We address in this work its technical features and introduce the utilized control system.
