achievements:
- found new M2 bender position for focusing using blank
- tried to use unfocused beam for ESLITS calibration, but could not see it at SCSPopin, only at M5 Popin
- we moved the XRD chamber laterally, closer to hRIXS, to be able to cut the beam using the sample at grazing incidence
- seen FEL on antenna, measured FEL spectrum at navitar
problems:
- general slowness of SA3 motors whenever the whatchdogs were active, switching them off seems at least to mitigate (solve) the problem
- navitar camera in unknown state
- scs daq control in unknown state (problem caused by FADC not instantiated)
- SCS_XTD10_TPI/CAM/SHUTTER was in the UNKNOWN state: the camera cannot be pinged, probably it is disconnected. WE NEED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THIS
- HSLITS blades were in error and could not be moved, Leandro fixed this problem, the issue was at the PLC level and related to the encoder
- ESLITS imager and SCS POPin could not be moved, DOC (Dave) fixed this problem
- we could not propagate the unfocused beam to the SCS Popin, only up to M5 popin
plan:
- look for signal at the hRXIS
- optimize resolution by changing LEPM angle
- measure XAS using MCP
- look for signal at APD after moving the APD on the side of the sample that is not blocked by the L shaped knife edge
