General

• User operation is delayed by 48h due to rocky startup of FEL.
• FEL still has not reached acceptable levels of stability and power

Instruments

• SPB:
  • Instrument was brought back to a somewhat running state
  • There are still problems with motors in the sample chamber
  • Alignment with beam is ongoing at this time
• FXE
  • New scan tool was tested
  • Currently working on user-specific alignment tasks
  • Laser was routed to the sample position
  • The beam is still drifting around

Tunnels

• FEL had trouble to find lasing
• There was a controled access on Wednesday to fix various problems. However, further problems appeared
• It was decided to roll back the changes made for a new injector laser, but this did not improve the situation
• At some point 400 uJ were reached and lost again
• There are many problems with the undulator system
  • Incorrect values in lookup tables
  • Difficult operation of the entire system
• FXE should be able to start up tonight
• SPB would follow Saturday morning since time is needed for alignment during the day today
• Shifts for photon diagnostics were largely cancelled due to FEL problems
• KMONO gave some interesting results pointing to the problems in the undulator system
• Next week FEL Imager and KMONO will be installed in SASE2

Laser

• Both SASE1 instruments have laser beam with local timing. 
• Tests with machine timing start today at lunchtime

Detectors

• AGIPD is in best possible state. 
• Firmware and DAQ were upgraded
• Some commissioning time with beam is needed today
• LPD had a cooling leak  and a power problem last night
• At 6 pm yesterday, this was still not fixed

AE

• Continuing small activities for user operation

ITDM

• A small bug was found in the DAQ that affects only slow devices  with certain train ids
• It is proposed to fix this during the next break. Decide on this Monday

CAS

• Dedicated squads for the setups of SPB/FXE, DOOCS integration, Scan Tool closed now
• Tools delivered but with significantly reduced scope
• All necessary things for DOOCS Karabo integration were delivered. Now waiting for DESY
