please find attached the updated status of the Differential Pumping
Modules in SASE 1. Just a few comments.

1. As you can imagine, no progress after KW4 in XTD2: system is ready to
deploy Karabo.
2. In XTD9, we have been pushing forward to finish the local test with AE.
Right now, everything has passed the local test except 3 vacuum gauges
that will be rechecked after the meeting. The main reasons for the little
progress (84%----->87%) are:

  a) more problems than expected with the cabling.
  b) a faulty Beckhoff Terminal.
  c) prioritization of  manpower (AE and VG) in other devices in the
tunnel.
  d)....the usual "sigmoidal" behavior of this kind of process.... ;)

3. In any case we aim to leave the system ready tomorrow so next week the
interlock code can be deployed safely.


Have a nice evening,

R.
