General

• SASE1 Instruments are asked to comment on progress with KARABO 2.1.18
• Tunnels XTD9/10 will be closed on 25 Oct at 1700

Instruments

• FXE (A. Galler):
  • KARABO 2.1.18 appears to be working ok. The device instantiation problem reported earlier in the week is no longer there. However, not all equipment could be tested yet
  • Work currently focusses on preparing for the next User Run and in particular on preparing the sample environment
• SPB (A. Mancuso)
  • A situation similar to the on in FXE is observed. Full proof of functionality of KARABO will only be possible once AGIPD is fully assembled again which is next week at the earliest
  • Currently, work is going on inserting the AGIPD cables into drag chains so that the detector can be moved on the CSS. This work should finish today

Tunnels (J. Eidam, R. Villanueva, T. Maltezopoulos)

• Leaky vacuum pipes were successfully welded
• Absorber section is closed and under vacuum
• MCP detector is connected
• DESY finished work on the upstream section in the dump
• The gas attenuator has very good vacuum (10^-9)
• Differential pumping is ready from the HW side
• Cabling for the gas attenuator section is still going on
• Alignment was done in view of the small apertures in the gas section
• Local tests can start now (This is 3 days behind the schedule made at the beginning of the week)
• PES is installed but will only act as a pipe.

Laser (M Lederer)

• NOPA Beam is now going to FXE
• Next week it will be brought to SPB
• The KARABO version used is several versions back with respect to the one in the instruments and there are still a few minor problems
• On Monday work on programming the laser burst patterns together with the respective people at DESY shall start
• Continue testing
• There appears to be a shortage of conversion crystals for the instruments. New ones have been ordered but are not there yet.

Detectors (P. Lang)

• AGIPD HW work is on track and finishes thie week. Software work starts next week
• LPD control system works ok with KARABO 2.1.18. 
• Some small issues with LPD calibrations

ITDM (K. Wrona)

• Two updates were done for the DAQ of LPD
• Some issues were found with the RC
• It was tried to install a new version. This was already done for AGIPD

AE (T. Freyermuth, B. Baranasic, J. Tolkiehn)

• SASE1 Tunnel:
  • Vacuum loop was updated without problems
  • The motion loop was updated a few times because there were problems with some motors. The work continues today
  • EPS loop was updated
  • On Monday/Tuesday the SPB loop will be updated to account for the terminal changes from 24V -> 48V
• SASE1 Instruments:
  • Loop 5 with the redundancy module is now ok
  • Loops 2, 4, 7 were updated
  • Next come loops 1 and 12
  • All modified modules (24V -> 48V) are installed but a few more might need to be changed
• SASE3 Tunnel:
  • Tried to get the vacuum loop up
  • But there are still many mistakes and inconsistencies with names
  • A big amount of work is still needed for the gas attenuator

CAS (S. Brockhauser)

• KARABO 2.1.18 was deployed
• Good progress was made with the Gotthard and GreatEyes Detectors
• For GreatEyes a specific driver on a specific computer will be used
• The problem with extra delays in the GUI client was resolved
• Scantool:
  • A plan of what to implement exists. This needs to be checked with the instruments
  • A first part of this tool is actually already implemented
  • A. Galler points out that he sees the problems predominantly in the integration with the rest of the environment
• DOOCS2KARABO
  • An example for pipelined data was sent to DESY
  • There is no showstopper seen, but the work is progressing according to priorities which are 1 Laser, 2 Undulators, 3 DOOCS2KARABO
  • Diagnostics points out that the will need both the scantool and DOOCS2KARABO for their commissioning period from 1 - 7 Nov. CAS should please provide information so that the tools can be tried
