Location: General 
Severity: Information 
Subject: Status and Plans after 09:30 meeting 

 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
