## Shift summary night July 28th-29th
Achievements:
- we saw signal on both MCPs (with a voltage of around 1500 V). We used the MCPs to measure XAS at Cu L edge at different theta angles from 120 |

optimized the SDL alignment
found timing of the upper (-520 ps) and lower branch (-514.5 ps) of the SDL
moved the upper branch by 3 ps (positive) and lost the beam on the merger crystal - difficult to get it back |

Found the delay time from upper and lower branches of SDL with a frosted-YAG.
The upper branch is -512.8 and the lower branch is -513.28.
The delay time difference is about 500 fs. |

Found the spatial overlap on the Suna microscope with Zyla.
Found the SDL motor position giving 200 fs time difference between the upper and lower branches.
The encoder and current values of DC2_CASZ and DC1_CASZ are not 100 % correlated. |

Found the interference fringe at Suna microscope with Zyla cam from MID split-and-delay line.
The fringe patterns were recorded as a function of delay controlled by the upper branch motor position.
Obtained the interference fringe patterns with two pulses with different repetition rate of machine. |
