JS will try to contact them directly.  ==> HW was updated but still with the old configuration. Moving of data services to new aggregators needs discussion.

SPB

• KB motors issue: the motors do not go to the proper position. This has been communicated to AE. Analysis of the problem and fixing ongoing.

• The leak of the AGIPD colling pipe has been fixed but the connectors were not cleaned since this requires time. It was decided to operate the detector and postpone the cleaning to the next shutdown.

• Software update for the AGIPD should now avoid problems with the configuration of the detector.

• During the last users run there was a loss of optical laser. This was due to a mistake in CAS. Has been clarified already. It is pointed out by FXE that one should avoid  working on e.g. the control system during the users period. This is however, not always possible and a mitigation strategy is needed and requires discussions.

Another issue related to the non independency of interlocks between the SASEs: FXE waiting for pulse on demand. In the meanwhile in SASE3 the pressure in the GATT increases and the apertures go in to keep the pressure high. As designed, the interlock stopps the beam for 1 or 2 seconds, but also in SASE1. FXE loses the pulse on demand. 

It is clear that this is a complex environment and finding a solution requires time and the experts both on the desy side and XFEL side (e.g.AE, CAS) on the table.

SPB

• A smaract stage sensor had issues. The behavior changes whether the chamber is pumped down or not. The Issue is being addressed by AE.

​FXE

• Successful users shifts.

SQS

• Configuration of some motors is incorrect. BB looking into that.
• It is required to change the sampling rate of the digitizers. CAS is on it.
• MPOT issue: control is lost as a power supply channel trips. CAS: a fix exists, needs to be deployed.
• Note from NC(AE): one has to check that the parameters and information written in the CRDs are consistent with what is being used in reality. This would make the time of the OCDs more efficiently used.

​SCS

• Interlocks tripping too easily: CAS will show SCS how to change the thresholds.

  • It seems that some cables needed for the loop 11 were not connected and some other are not yet installed. ILobato and K. Sukharnikov are now dealing with the issue. This delays the foreseen plan. The mitigation strategy for the missing cables issue is to have a list with these specific cables and ask Fa. Schulz to put these hight priority. It already worked with other cables/connectors. Discussion MID/EET/AE needed.
