General

• T. Tschentscher inform about Management Board priorities for the October shut down:
  • Management Board Priority 1 after the Oct shutdown will be the characterization for SASE1 performance. Any still necessary development for this (MCP, HIrex operation; two-way functional DOOCS-Karabo interface and data exchange; etc.) should get highest priority during the shutdown period. It would be good to achieve substantial progress with the DOOCS-Karabo interface before the MAC meeting to avoid general bashing of our controls. The instruments will provide a detailed list to permit support groups (ITDM, CAS, AE) to plan resources.
  • Priority 2: SASE3 completion. It is expected that the machine will anyway be able to reach lasing at SASE3, but this has lower priority at present.

SASE1 Instruments

• ​SPB : 
  • No major issues to report
• FXE:
  • In the next days FXE will work in the commissioning of Gothard & LPD in parallel operation to be ready to test with beam on Saturday.

Electronics

• MPS Interlock for SPB already switched on.
• No further issues to report.

ITDM

• Users have no access to on-line DAQ. They can use off-line cluster, the transfer is 5 min. after the end of the run.
• Out of the shift scientist should work with off-line cluster.

Safety

• There is  a new procedure for tunnel access. Accelerator areas will have to be measured by Safety group before tunnel access release.
