SA2 cell#5 undulator segment moved at ~09:45AM Fri to 25mm without aparent reason and undulator experts need a ZZ to exchange power supply; FEL
instensity dropped from 230uJ to 60uJ s consequence.

RCs are preparing south branch for the iminent ZZ. HED is informed.

- While FEL IMG with YAG screen was inserted in SA1, EPS/MPS was not limited to the expected 2 bunches, but to 30 bunches; 
- It was found
the condition #3 ("SA1_XTD2_VAC/Switch/SA1_PNACT_Close") at the EPS Mode-S was disabled which should be always enabled; 
- Condition
#3 has been enabled again and now SA1 is limited to 2 bunches, as expected when YAG screen is inserted. 

Further investigations will be done to

Dear MID colleagues, Svitozar (PRC), Bolko and Shan (RCs),
This morning we faced the situation where MID was limited to 400 pulses (mode M) via the EPS signals. The current RF window set at the machine
allows to the requested 450 pulses.

This is to report some findings during operation that should be looked into (mostly to avoid in the future, because both negatively affect data quality
of the user expt at FXE):


At the moment, the 99:1 mode affects 4 to 5 pulses out of 100 in SA1, see first screenshot that shows in the top right the IPM reading

A2 failure - downtime

The machine / RC informs (11h22) that there is an issue with the accelerator module A2 (first module in L1, right after
the injector).
This causes a downtime of the accelerator of 1 hour (from 10h51 to 11h51), affecting all photon beamlines.
