SPB/SFX:

• 2nd AGIPD intervention will be finished today.
• SE worked on a reliable procedure for nozzle exchange and trained the instrument scientists
• SmarAct motors are in error, Mahadi / AE is informed. These motors are needed for user operation / commissioning.
• loop 5 update still outstanding
• Karabo update for loop 1-4 was done, seems to be ok. Full update is planned for beginning of next week.

FXE:

• JJ X-rays finalized installation of the last components at FXE:
  • Diamond grating (in XTD9)
  • Spectrum analyzers
  • Timing tool
  • repositioning of the sample manipulator and working on better cabling
  • minor work on cables of FXE CRL to allow full movement along the beam direction
  • Johann spectrometer
• FXE got the information from CAS that the Karabo update was successful and it’s ready for testing
• FXE decided not not pursue the further commissioning of the new equipment due to the emergency power off tests
• FXE is working on a more universal sample environment allowing faster and more reliable changes from solid to liquid experiments.

Vacuum:

SASE1:

• vacuum system closed,
• PLC loop update done,
• ready for restart

SASE2:

• XTD1 all devices in the tunnel and aligned

SASE3:

• Soft Mono chamber closed yesterday, pumpdown, leaktest later today
• GasAttenuator comissioning ongoing
• Karabo scene developement

XPD:

• SASE3 MCP detector technical commissioning:
  • HV tested OK (MPOD operational), today ADC/signal test
  • motors: rewiring done --> correct directions and limit switches
  • motors were intermediately ok, but are not stable (now there are again issues)
  • several PLC / karabo issues were sorted out, ok
• SASE3 XGM:
  • test with Kr gas supply yesterday/today
  • test with gas plus HV
• SASE3 PES:
  • ordered grounding works (cabling) to be done similar to what was done for the XGM
• SASE2 XGM:
  • vacuum incident: vacuum operation of the XGM in XTD6 was unauthorized interrupted for some time, The rack had been powered down without prior information to XPD.
  • Reminder to all that rack near the XGMs shall be powered down only after informing and coordinating with XPD.

Laser:

• SASE1 PP-laser commissioning and upgrade is continuing according to our plan.
• Karabo upgrade to 2.2.1 was rather uneventful and successful.
• Hutch readiness milestones for laser hutches in SASE 3 and 2 seem to consolidate:  15. March. If this continues to hold, we will start our Phase II installation of PP-lasers in E.04 and A.04 with laser tables at the start of April. Laser tables for the ILHs will be installed at the same time.

Detectors: Did not attend.

Advanced Electronics:

• Replacement of the microTCA for the PES was done
• microTCA update of the timing system was done
• local test of the CRL can be done after the cables and the hardware have been fixed by the Vacuum group
• All loops of FXE updated (firmware etc.)

ITDM:

• Network ports for SASE2 in the racks have been fixed
• DAQ in SASE1 needs fixing of hardware, foreseen for CW 4
• Test of DAQ with new Karabo release is on its way, should be done by Wednesday 24.1.

CAS:

• Karabo 2.2.1 has been deployed on FXE, LAS-LAB, LAS-PPL, and 3 SPB loops without any real problems
• migration continues next week on SPB
• BKR will be equiped with a 3rd Karabo Control PCs (we work with Tim already on it)
