achievements:

• beam transport with the second half of undulators closed
• measured pulse energy in SCS hutch and verified that the transmission of the beamline with hr grating is as previously reported
• knife edge scans along vertical direction to find focus (<=11 um) and horizontal direction to have 175 um
• half clip scans to find center of rotation
• aligned Cu and Ni ML (theta offset) to find signal of Cu and Ni at hrixs
• delivered the beam at the hrixs ccd camera

problems:

• all the undulator cells were closed instead of only the second half of the undulators

plan:

• optimize energy resolution at hrixs at Ni L edge (priority)
