Morning shift:
- Tried to align the fiducial fiber in IC1 for the streak cameras, however it was unsuccessful.
- The karabo device for the SOP had to be restarted. Crosschecked that all the timings were still correct.
- Took some CeO2 diffraction images on the VAREX detectors and found several problems:
- the VAREX detectors are storing the data under different trainIds. Taking as reference the pulse-picker unit, VAREX1 stores data in trainId+2 and VAREX2 in trainId+15.
- the frames appear to be "hard cut". The diffraction signal gets cut as if the readout was interrupted and the rest of the frame is filled with background.
- DiPOLE works ongoing, focus optimization.
Late shift:
- DiPOLE timing achieved
- Spatial and temporal calibration of SOP and Visar.
- First DiPOLE shots, however no signal seen in Varex, some fringe shift observed in visar.
Night shift:
- Further few shots to debug the issues.
- Users wanted to optimize imaging of the VISAR, achieved optimization in Arm 3
- Debugging of Varex trainId and frame cropping issues. Should be followed up with controls.
- Achieved signal in the fiducial fiber from IC1.
