General

• T. Haas conveys the congratulations of the management
  • for the achievements in installing and commissioning the AGIPD in SPB
  • for the progress made with installations in XTD10/SASE3
• There will be a meeting next week in order to determine whether we are ready for "Early User Experiments" in SASE1.  
• A discussion on what needs to be prepared for this meeting followed with the following conclusions
  • The term "Early User Experiments" needs further qualification in order to establish a well defined scope
  • Instruments and support groups (SPB, FXE, AE, CAS, ITDM, Detectors) should prepare a table with their list of deliverables and the corresponding status, following the model presented by CAS in the talk by H. Santos last week
  • In the wake of the meeting it needs to be communicated to the first scheduled groups what boundary conditions they will most likely encounter

FXE

• The optical signal for laser synchronisation is still missing and not likely to arrive before next week
• Hence a pump-probe experiment cannot happen before the scheduled "Readiness Meeting" as there will also be no beam on Tuesday and Wednesday
• It will be difficult to answer the question whether a pump-probe experiment is possible
• JJ was here this week and installed the intensity monitor

SPB

• Big gate valve between AGIPD and sample chamber was opened for the first time 10 mins ago
• The liquid jet is running and the differential pumping is working so that proper vacuuum can be maintained
• Issues remain with the SmarACT stages. Resets are needed at short invervals
• Availability of "slow" data in the DAQ chain remains the hot topic

Tunnel Installations

• Work in XTD10 continued through Monday morning
• Ion pumps and valves are now connected to the PLC. 
• KARABO control has to wait for CAS resources

Laser

• Issues remain with AC system.
• The flow rates are way to high and it appears that the system was designed for much higher flows than needed
• Weiss Klimatechnik is coming on Monday for a discussion
• Otherwise, installation proceeds and is still on track for laser beam delivery in October

Detectors

• A lot of progress was made with the detectors
• However, time is still needed to take calibration data. This is estimated as one day without beam per detector
• A reduced rates both detectors can run in parallel for tests. This is not possible for the calibration

Electronics

• The encoder bug reported on Wednesday was found and consequently all loops were updated
• Currently work continues on the SPB SmarACT stages
• The interface to the MPS system still needs to be set up. This requires an interrupt and testing

CAS

• Several unexpected issues were found in the most recent KARABO release, e. g. there are problems with the time server that still prevent DAQ integration of the slow data
• This takes a lot of additional time
• A plan review has now been agreed with both instruments once per week
• A survey was made on the need for specific DOOCS devices
