General

• Intensity and availability of beam was good over the weekend
• Large drifts and jitter were observed that are significantly higher than previously
• Beam has two horizontal lobes as if it is too large for the mirrors

Instruments

• SPB:
  • Many tasks were achieved during the weekend, e. g. instrument alignment, detector calibration
  • Issue with encoders whose cables are close to motor cables persists. These encoders are being disabled
  • Rotational SmarACT stages still do not work and are needed for this week's user experiment
• FXE
  • At shift start on Saturday after reloading beam parameters there was no beam in the hutch.
  • Beam had to be brought back by hand. This was a large effort
  • This situation did not repeat on Sunday
  • LPD detector had problems: Only one super module correctly recorded data. Comment from S. Hauf: FXE should have called the detector expert
  • PP laser synchronisation does not work properly yet: Increments when adjusting timing are too coarse. Scan range is limited to 18ns

Detector

• Detector group was not informed about the LPD issues in FXE. 
• AGIPD calibrations were successfully taken on Sunday

ITDM

• Still work is needed for slow data DAQ
• DAQ behaves differently in SPB and FXE. In FXE it appears overloaded and in SPB it works fine
• Comment from CAS: 
  • Many changes were made in the KARABO framework to allow asynchronous operation
  • These changes have to be also pulled through to DAQ. This will only be done during the winter shutdown
  • Until then, DAQ is very vulnerable to any delay in the system

CAS

• No further comments

AE

• Currently working on problems with rotational stages in SPB
