FXE

  • Supporting the diagnostic and optics group for the testing of the beam feedback mechanism. 
  • A.Galler was informed by CAS (Vajid) that a Karabo update was requested to CAS last friday late afternoon. The update was stopped by FXE, but to avoid this in the future communication between the cvarious groups has to be improved.

SQS

  • Beam during the WE. NO issues.
  • Imaging processors are being used for cameras. There are issues with the averaging. CAS is informed.
  • Various loops updates needed. Will be agreed offline with AE.

SPB

  • Karabo was updated yesterday. Test is ongoing. So far no issues.
  • The macros for cooling down and warming up the detector do not work properly. If the button is pushed twice the setpoint changes continuing e.g. cooling down too much. Marcin will bring the issue up with CAS (HS).

 

FXE

SQS

SCS

  • Issue was found with Elmo controllers crates: due to a problem in the EPLAN macro the ground is not connected to the motor cables. The mitigation strategy will be discussed by PG, LW, MF and MT in a meeting.

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

  • Users are acquiring data with the Jungfrau detector. It is a success so far.
  • 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.
  • KB coordinated motion: bug has been reproduced by cas. Fix ongoing.
  • Full control of the scroll pumps still not possible. AE is working on it.
  • Loop 13 will be fixed (miswiring problems)

MID

VAC

AE

ITDM

  • Issue with the office netword socket in D.09. Fixing ongoing. In general all the operation critical devices have to go to the control network sockets to avoid such issues.
  • Request from HS to add the generic XFEL unix user to the special group of doocs to change the bunch pattern. This has to be first discussed internally to CAS. AS will come back to KW and the others involved players as soon as this has been clarified in CAS.

 

CAS

  • CAS need  a time window to deploy and test the fix for the Lima Basler cameras in XTD6. No feedback since last friday. A.Koch tries to find out a possible time window and come back to ASIlenzi.

AoB

Groups are reminded to send GW (PSPO) the activities planned for the winter shutdown.

SPB

FXE

  • 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.
  • Successful users shifts.

SQS

  • Issues with motors have been fixed.
  • Loop 3 will be probably updated today.
  • In general several loops need to be updated, will be coordinated with SQS.
  • SQS has the night shift today. Eventual tests have to be done today during the day.
  • Motor valve can be implemented in the controls next week.
  • Would be nice to have the GATT pressure in our DAQ system. CAS is looking into that.

SCS

  • KB coordinated motion has been improved

MID

AoB

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.

  • Loop 4 and 5 motors need to be updated . To be discussed with AE when is the best time.
  • Pulse on demand capability needed. SQS will contact the CAS contact person.
  • Ph. Science camera can be connected again.

SCS

  • First shifts succesfull. Support from the support groups is appreciated.
  • DAQ groups that have been overlooked are now needed. ITDM asks SCS to send a ticked with the request and the required excel sheet.
  •  ITDM also points out, that only DAQ groups that have been already properly commissioned should be used during night shifts.
  • Minor problems with gauges. Will be discussed with AE.
  • Problems with motors (sometimes they work, sometimes not) has to be discussed in details with AE.

Starting from today CY is no longer taking care of the SASE2 tunnel activities planning and coordination. It has to be discussed in the Friday meeting how to go on, since the planning and coordination of the shutdown activities is needed.
  • Concerning the SASE3 radiation protection issue in the tunnel, it is stated that CAS are implementin the requested software solution, although Karabo was not designed to manage personal safety functions. To this aim, it is needed to understand whether the concept is going in the right direction. The large scale issue is being managed by Safety (ZA). A report about the situation will be given on Friday by THaas.

The GUI crashes reported by FXE will be fixed with the hotfix release coming ~tomorrow.

It is related to very high or low values in plotting widgets scratching the maximum floating point number (1e308 ~ infinity).

Entry   Status report after dispatch meeting 09.30, posted by Adriano Violante on 05 Sep 2018, 12:19 

SPB

  • DAQ will be updated today by ITDM to make it more user friendly.
  • Smaract stages issue. Only 2 out of 10 are not working. For the planned experiments these are more than enough. The last 2 will be finxed at the end of the month.

SQS

  • While Cyril is not here the CAS contact person for SQS is Juri.
  • SQS would like to meet with ITDM to discuss how to make the DAQ interface more users friendly. KW reminds that on one side, the update being deployed in SPB helps, on the other side people should get proper training, and for SQS this did not happen so far. SQS will send a list of people who need training to ITDM.
  • Problem with the digitizers bandwidth is being addressed by AE. but was not known by CAS. Juri has to be involved in the discussion.
  • 4 uTCA boards (For the reaction microscope from the University of Frankfurt) are found to be wrong: the firmware seems to be incopatible with the intergration in Karabo. AE will check it.

SCS

  • Working together with BB to fix the issues with Loops.
  • Loop 4 being brought to life, as well as Smaract stages.
  • Interlock definition were sent to AE by M. Izquierdo. M. Teichmann did not know that and pointed out that Manuel is no longer an SCS member and thanks to this meeting he got the information. Has to be clarified.

MID

  • Today at 14:00 in XTD 6 the technical commissioning of imagers will be carried out . ILobato will attend.
  • First 2 loops for the MID Optics hutch being prepared.

AE

  • A request to improve the Mpot power supplies has been sent to CAS by many groups. CYoungman will send an e-mail to the relevand people and organize a meeting. The experiment groups have to also make sure that all the interested people are informed.

ITDM

  • Hibef has to decide the network structure to have. In the past they wanted to have a private network behing a gateway. Now the concept is being rediscussed. Discussion ongoing. CAS and AE will also be involved 

FXE, HED not represented.

SPB / SFX:

  • Experiments are ongoing, users collected data on Sat. and Sun.
  • There have been issues with the detector/DAQ due to operator error
  • There have been issues with the sample delivery
  • There was an issue with the X-ray / Laser interlock systems on Saturday, which was fixed the same day.
  • Beam time was partially lost due to these issues...

FXE, SCS, SQS, MID, HED:

  • Did not attend
  • Support points pointed out it will be much more difficult if the instruments do not attend this meeting to provide support in-time
  • PSPO announced the Dispatch meeting will be discontinued if the instruments will not attend (it is not considered useful with just one instrument attending on a regular basis)

Detectors:

  • Server for calibration data died, ITDM and DESY are working to revive it, S. Hauf will bring it up again.

CAS:

  • CY will have the usual meeting regarding SASE2

AE:

  • PBLMs in SASE3 being integrated.
  • SmarAct stages for SQS are being brought up
  • Vacuum group + AE working on SASE3 interlock
