X-ray delivery
- 12.72 keV, 10Hz, ~1.4 mJ/pulse, stable delivery 

Optical laser delivery
- 487 nm ns laser for pump-probe
- 800 nm PP laser for jet illumination, stable delivery

Achievements/Observations
- AGIPD BG optimized (DiffPump realigned)
- IRDA focus optimized (EHC_CRL arm10 (1mm pinhole) inserted)
- Completed dark state measurement of the main sample (more than 4 hours of measurement time)
- Collected PP (pump-probe) dataset with 5 us time delay (about 3 hours of measurement time; Jet was quite stable during the 3 hrs measurement)

Issues
- AGIPD module Q3M2 was not healthy. After another power cycle, it recovered.
- X-ray pulse energy was relatively low in the beginning of the shift. It was partially recovered after running the launch optimization by BKR.

Continuous pointing drift in horizontal direction.

It may trigger a vacuum spike at SPB OH (MKB_PSLIT section) at 21:07 pm.

X-ray beam is continuously drifting in the vertical direction (XTD9_XGM)
It affects our NKB focus and focused beam is also drifting continuously.

  68   30 Mar 2024, 00:17 Björn Senfftleben (Resolved) Issues with DAQ

We had some trouble with the DAQ. It was not able to start runs properly.

We got the following error messages:

initially:

[00:01:27]: Problem of communication with data manager

[00:01:30]: Start new run ...

[00:01:38]: Failed starting data recording

DM: error at registerRun (Request to MDC timeouted)

after trying to start the run again:

[00:05:35]: Start new run ...

[00:05:35]: Failed starting data recording

DM: error at registerRun (Problem of communication with MDC

#Info: MDC-1100: MDC web server error: Error creating run

#Details: {'run_number': ['must be unique per proposal', 'has already been taken'], 'experiment_id': ['has already been taken']})

 

Cycling the DAQ resolved the issue.
