Dear All,

I would like to inform that we released last Friday (22.06) the Karabo 2.2.4 version. We got around five days delayed to prioritize issues regarding Karabo-DAQ integration and MDL devices that were found in the last steps of the test cycle. However, fortunately, those issues are solved. 

Based on this run, the new dates that we (CAS) are proposing to start the deployment in operation will be:

• SA3: 28.06, Thursday (CAS references: Chris, Wajid, and Valerii)
• SA2: 02.07, Monday (CAS references: Chris, Wajid, and Valerii)
• SA1 + SPB + FXE: 03.07, Tuesday (CAS references: Alessandro, Dennis, Gabriele, Wajid)
  • SPB deployment should not impact AGIPD firmware test week, as agreed before.
• BKR: 28.06? (Wajid and Jan, could you please agree offline?)
• LAS, SQS and SCS dates have to be agreed with the respective contact persons.

• Loop 5 motors being tested.

CAS

• in XTD6 the VAC loop applied labels for the max excursions of the bellows. 
• PBLM commissioning ongoing
• CRLs for MID to be repaired.

General

• Starting from this Wednesday the dispatch meeting will be shifted back to 9:30.

SPB

• Interaction region cabling being reworked. By the end of the week shoud be done.

SPB

• Middle layer for coordinated motion is being reifned.
• Request to have the pulse picker ready asap as it is required for user period. AE working on that,
• Scan tool has to be stested. CAS required.

FXE

• Problem with the shutter in FXE hutch: when openning the shutter with more that 2 pulses the electron beam is dumped. Bypassing the MPS signal FXE is able to get into the hutch beam in 2 pulses mode. The problem seems to be at the interface with the MPS. FXE and AE will check offline.

XPD

• due to the current beam parameters gas pressure has to be increased (10 ^-4 mbar range) in the XGM in XTD2 to reduce the error on the measures. 

General

• The next dispatch meeting will take place on 20.08. It was discussed with AE that the existing time slots (9.30 on MOndays and Wednesdays) can be used voluntarily with the SASE3 experiments to exchange information with the technical groups.

SASE3

• If the bender of the M2 mirror is used the beam can be focused on the shutter and caouse damaged. This is a safety relevant issue that prevents SASE3 from getting beam. Interlock definitions related to the gas attenuator are being discussed to overcome the problem.

SQS

• Digitizers being set up with ITDM and AE
• Deployment of new interlock definitions needed. Definitions being prepared by SQS
• Loop 6 will be needed in the next days. AE reports that it's almost ready and in the next days will be deployed.

SCS

• Cabling almost 100% done.

AE

• Problems with ELMO motors reported on 10.08. for the KB optics has been solved.

XPD

• 2 screens were damagend in SASE3. One has a hole, the other one has surface damages.The imagers should be put in the interlock when multibunch mode is used. For the single bunch mode a warening signal is now appearing in the Karabo scene.

General

• The next dispatch meeting will take place as usual this Wednesday at 9:30.

SASE3 general

• Interlock definitions for the tunnels: today a meeting with AE/HSInn/CAS will take place at 14:00 to continue the discussion.PGessler pointed out that one has to make sure to implement a concept which is also OK with D3 to avoid wasting time. The common understanding is that HSinn is the interface to D3 at this moment.

SQS

• Deployment of new interlock definitions needed. Definitions being prepared by SQS. Ongoing.
• Loop 6 will be needed in the next days. A couple of cables for these 2 crates are missing. Should be there in a couple of days. SQS wants the loop running anyway.

SCS

• Due to absence of beam, SCS is now focussing on the end to end test of components considered priority 2 so far.
• Elmo motors of the FFT chamber need to be rewired. AE on it.

AE

• SQS digitizers issies reported on Friday solved.

DET

• FXE - LPD module is showing flickering. To be investigated after the users run.
• AGIPD pipeline issues (crashing). Are probably caused by misconfiguration of the detector by the users. 

 CAS

• XTD6 technical commissioning will be focussed of the MID CRL this week. No feedback from LBatchelor and MID received relative to the bellows. If no feedback is received, the bellows will be aligned in the central position and the motors disconnected.
• Log for GATT almost ready (related to the new interlock definitions for the SASe3 operation)

This announcement is to notify you that the intervention planned to configure the interlocks as read-only will be carried out at 11:30.

A following message will notify of the end of the intervention

Alessandro

Intervention completed.

• Many small issues related to creates have to be fixed. AE and SQS to check offline.
• Digitizers issue: when a couple of channels are used, the transfer rate goes down to 80 Mb/s. AE and ITDm to address the issue offline with SQS.

AE

• Implementing new set of machine safety interlocks for SASE3 operation. No saftey PLC used. 3 signals are now provided to the MPS interface:
  • GATT pressure
  • Absorber open signal
  • Position of mirrors

The interlock conditions cannot be disabled/modified from Karabo. Karabo device already deployed.All ready for the test with D3 scheduled for tomorrow.
