A multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) is being currently tested and improved at the FRS Ion Catcher facility. This MR-TOF-MS will be used at the LEB of the Super-FRS facility to provide a low energy isobarically clean beam to other experiments, as a diagnostic tool for the cryogenic stopping cell of the Low-Energy Branch (LEB) and as a mass spectrometer for the most short-lived nuclides. Understanding the influence of many parameters in such a complex system, as well as getting new instrumental developments in order to maximize the performance of the system is an important and continuous task. Most recent improvements of the system are: increase of the kinetic energy of the ions in the analysis path, optimization of ion optics and an upgrade in the electronics. Also, a dedicated data acquisition software for high quality online analysis and a full remote control software of the system were developed. The current status of the system, the latest developments of the system and a systematic characterization of the device will be presented.
