Update of the damage tests at SQS.

Yesterday (15.04) SQS staff created a focused beam on our sample using a small YAG fragment we have placed on the holder.

Due to the unusual position, the beam is full of aberrations but it looked small enough for our purpose. Estimattion of the size is difficult

Mirror positions and beam position on the imagers for 14.8 keV SPB, 2mrad

ATTENTION: the alignment was difficult due to the strong background from SA3 with 500 pulses. For the future, maybe SA3 could reduce to single
pulse during alignment of SA1. This would make the process easier.

Entry   Shift end, posted by Harald Sinn on 03 Oct 2023, 22:58 
End of Euler shift: all 3 SASE2 mirrors are now working with the Euler MDL.

We left the beamline aligned to HED, with M1,M2 on Pt for upcoming HED experiment at 18 keV.

Entry   Euler MDL bugfix - motor velocities restored after stop, posted by Antje Trapp on 10 Nov 2023, 14:10 
The Euler MDL was updated, so that velocities are restored to standard values also after the stop button was hit before motion was finished.

Please be aware that due to the synchronized motion, which is neccessary to keep the beam on the screen, some motors may move for a longer time
with very slow speed (main reason - backlash compensation). We are working on a solution with a minimum speed.
