General

• First user experiments ended on Monday evening/Tuesday morning
• They are considered a great success and overall the instruments worked better than expected
• The S1S/S3R meeting on Friday happens at 13:00 this week due to SAC

SPB

• Karabo is freezing up much less frequently than previously
• The latency of data being available for online analysis seems to be increasing
• Todos:
  • Update the laser loop (11) today
• Please keep in mind that updating the PLC loops requires a lot of hand work from the instrument afterwards and should not be done during beam time

FXE

• FXE was not represented
• The parallel operation of Gotthard and LPD was discussed. This is currently not possible. But this restriction was put deliberatly in order not to compromise LPD operation. It can be lifted whenever requested. However, the incoming user group will only need LPD. Hence this should be postponed for one week

AE

• Preparations are ongoing for work on SASE3 tunnel during October shutdown
• Prepartions are on done to connect the EPS in SPB to the DESY MPS system

CAS

• The second stage of the SPB-CAS and SPB-FXE projects has been started
• They include additional functionality that is required for user operation in November and also for the operation with the optical laser
• The next Karabo release is being prepared
• Next thing on the list is to implement the slow data acquisition for the tunnels
