Tunnel Closed until approx 1300, Open over the Easter Weekend until Tuesday 1500.
Vacuum:
- All valves and pumps in XTD2 are working and can be operated remotely
- The vacuum system including DPS and XGM is interlocked. Interlocks have been tested and are working properly
- The fast valve and the absorber at the interface to the electron beam vacuum are working and interlocked. The communication with DESY has been successfully tested
- Some issue exist when switching turbo pumps on/off in Karabo. Then erratic behaviour is observed. Doing the same remotely communicating via TCP directly works ok
- More testing needs to be done in XTD9
Mirrors, PBLMs, SRA, Attenuator
- M1 and M2 are installed and under vacuum. M3 will be installed after easter
- 3 out of 5 motors can be operated in M1 and M2. The mirrors have been moved into a safe position
- PBLM motors (ELMO driver) can be operated (started and stopped) but operation is still problematic (motors stop in wrong position, movement not linear)
- On the SRA the connection to two motors is interchanged
- On the attenuator certain motors occasionally get stuck
- Slits have been moved out so the beam line is safe for first operation
Imagers:
-
- All imagers tested, motors and cameras, motion loop, EPS loop, for 3 imagers XTD2, and 3 imagers XTD9.
- All blocking issues concerning tunnel closure solved.
- Some remaining points that can be treated remotely: Trigger, software delays, others.
- The Photonics Camera driver is now working in Karabo.
- Cameras can currently be read out at 3 Hz which is too slow but ok for first beam commissioning
XGM:
-
- XGM inserted into vacuum loop and interlock (in XTD2 and XTD9)
-
- Grounding completed in XTD2+XTD9 (power cycle of rack was needed)
- Gases ready to be used in XTD2
- XGM @ XTD2 ready for beam (need DOOCS middle-layer servers activated)
FXE
- Testing finished for all devices in loop1
- Now waiting for loops 2 and beyond
-
SPB
- SPB tunnel loop deployed. Testing can start next week
- For the Optics hutch some Beckhoff crates are still missing
-
PLC
- Fixes to MC2 library (ELMO and TECHNOSOFT motors) will deployed next week and then tested in XTD9
- FXE loop 2 was modified and loops 3&4 are deployed
- SPB loop 1 to be deployed today. Working on loop 2
KARABO
- Slow response appears to be solved
- There are other not so severe bugs on the backlog
- Currently all high priority components are supported
- No requires cleanup and day-one component list
- Monitor stability and robustness
Tasks for today:
Note: All loops should be left running and no changes to Karabo.
- Fix the issue with the disconnected vacuum loop after tunnel reopens
Tasks for the weekend:
- Relax and look for Easter Eggs
- AE and CAS will provide contacts on a good will/best effort basis in case an intervention should be necessary
