Over the course of 2018, 7 machine developments were conducted for dedicated crab cavity measurements with each measurement slot consisting of 10 hours of SPS machine time. During this period,many different sets of measurements and studies were performed to improve the understanding of the interaction between protons and crab cavities. This note describes the main results relating to beam dynamics. Additionally, the considerations on crab cavity related instrumentation required for HL-LHC are presented.
