Hi All,

Just adding more info:

CAS

• Karabo version 2.2.4rc. being tested with PLC 1.27. Waiting for AE support to update the test environment to 1.28 (Jan, Nerea, and Bernard are aware).

SPB

• Beam delivery issues.
• After several days of usage the Karabo GUI slows down. Servers are reported to have crashed a couple of times in the last shift.
• Same situation with data aggregators. Once per shift they have to be restarted. This in known to ITDM.
• Interlock system seems to work fine now, but the impression is that the people in BKR cannot correctly interpret the interloch signals coming from the experiments. The issue relates to the Interlock panels to be developed in BKR (Issue list, Friday's Operation meeting)

FXE

• Reading the logbook it seems that some problems with the optical laser's shutter forced to stop the laser operation at about 3 AM. 

SCS

• Tests  continue

SQS

• Loop 1 one more ion pump will be implemented today by AE
• Loop 3 - Configuration of the rest of the  motors expected today
• Loop 2 should be up by tomorrow according to AE
• Loop 4 and 5 are supposed to go up in the next 3 weeks 

AE

• EPS in SASE2 should be ready today

ITDM

• FXE reported missing images from Gotthardt detector in the H5 files. The data does not reach the DAQ. Tests have to be made, but cannot be done while SPB has beamitime. Tests foreseen for tomorrow.
•  

CAS

• Some issues with scanning tool reported - working on it
• Some issues concerning data acquisiion from imagers were reported from SPB  - Valerii on it.

SPB

• Ready for the Users run. No big issues.
• The first 2 weeks of the shutdown will be used for cleaning and rearrangement of the hutch by SPB, in preparation of the mirrors instalaltion. PLCs update and Technical interventions by TS or external companies have to be carried out in this period. 

AE

• XTD6 VAC loop running.
• CRL XTD1 working
• Loop 2 SQS experiment still not running due to small issues being solved.
• Loop2 SCS was restarted yesterday after some fix

ITDM

• Gpfs should be fixed by now.

SCS

• List with the problems encountered so far during the end to end test was sent to AE. Bernard will get the info and eventually inform EET if problems with cables are found.

SQS

• Elmo motors for KB system were ocnfigured and are being moved right now. If problems arise AE will be contacted.
• It was not possible to control the turbo pump controllers via PLC. Bernard will have a look. In general also tirbo pump cables can and will be checked with the test box.
• Loop 2 is being prepared including the MC2 motors. Should be ready by tomorrow.
• SQS would like to start setting up the digitizers environment in Karabo. uTCA crates can be used on the HW side. AE acan support that.

AE

• XTD6 VAC loop is being patched. Small problems with the cabling of the CRL occured but solved. 

XRD

• XTD6 components being cabled. 2 Imagers still need to get the EPS signals. in 1/2 weeks ready for local tests.

​ITDM

AE

• CRLs in XTD1 being implemented
• GATT and EPS loop in SASE3 being updated

SCS

• Tests continue - No issues so far

SQS

• ELMO controllers have to be configured for the mirror motors test. Slit motors have lower priority. Cables can be tested w/o being physically connected to the motors, but to configure the ELMO controllers the cables have to be connected to the real motors. Tomorrow AE is available to support these activities.
• Basler cameras set up and working.

​ITDM

• SPB AGIPD test today or tomorrow

CAS

• Hot fix for SPB released yesterday. This will address the issue of crushings when instantiating a new device. Has to be tested with SPB. 
• XTD 6 will have no electricity for the racks today since Wille is completing the cabling. MTCA being shut down accordingly.

General

• For the upcoming emergency off test in SASE1 SPB and FXE should propose  a possible date in the next shutdown to be then discussed with AE.
• The machine is down due to the failure of a cryocompressor. Beam will be probably coming back tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning will be also confirmed whether SPB and FXE cold use the beamtime for the user run.

SPB

• In the week end there was a failure of the PP laser shutter. It was possible to find a very temporary solution to circumvent the problem.
• The beam has been unstable for most of the time. No drift, mostly gitter. Reasons are unclear. The instability was also measured with the XGM in XTD2. SPB is analysing the data collected to be able to quantify the instability. 
• DAQ tests for AGIPD were planned for tomorrow but the request is to shift them to today to take advantage of the missing beam.

FXE

Some issues were reported: LPD readout of the data, Fast digitizers mainly. The details have to be clarified with the DET and ITDM groups.  

AE

The MPS comm for SASE 2 and FXE were tested and the only remaining part is to test the SPB to MPS changes. Tomorrow morning a  timeslot will be agreed between AE and SPB.

​​AE

• SASE3:
  • -Request from Andreas Koch about interlocks for MCP and LED Power in SQS/SCS (this installation is unique in SASE3). For that purpose we have to update EPS, MOV2 and Master loop in SASE3. PRC will be triggered by E-Mail ==> AE updated the loop. Nerea is making sure that the MPS signals are enabled in the BKR 
  • Stepper motor for the mirror bender was found to be miswired. Has been already fixed. Similar issue (inverse wiring) was found in SASE1. Cannot be fixed now. It will be done in the next shutdown. For the time being one has to drive the morot the opposite way.

• SASE2:
  • -We want to update SASE2 in order to get beam permission interlocks properly. Therefore we need to update, EPS, Vacuum loop and Master loop. PRC will be triggered by E-Mail ==> DONE. Not clear if some motor parameters for XRO devices were saved before. D. La Civita and CAS are checking that

• SPB:
  • -Today we will deploy loop 12 and 13 and Master loop. In the Master loop we will add beam permission conditions, so we want to test it and therefore we will need to open all the valves in SPB as well as the last ones in the Tunnel. Has to be decided when it is possible with the SPB people. ==> DONE. 

• FXE:
  • -All loops updated past week. Waiting for answer from FXE about when we can test the same beam permission conditions as in SPB. To be agreed with FXE.

SQS

• Meeting today at 11:00 with AE, EET, CAS to define the next steps of the end to end tests.

AE

• SASE2 tunnels - Only VAC conditions are transmitted from the EPS loop to the MPS. All the other conditions were supposed to be not necessary for first lasing and were not implemented. Nevertheless this was not clear for the people working in the BKR (especcially for diagnostics) during the last days. It has to be discussed with the PRC (H. Sinn this week) whether these have to be implemented on a short time. In pronciple AE can do it if requested. Otherwise the definitions will be implemented in the next shutdown.

ITDM

• Failure of one IBM server for online storage. Thanks to the implemented redundancy this will not affect the operation. The performances have to be checked.   IBM has been contacted.
• On monday evening ITDM OCD received a call from BKR because of some problems with the DAQ in the tunnels. It seems that this was due to the fact that the system was not properly tested by the "users" before. Seems to be solved now.

CAS (C. Youngman)

Following the Technical commissioning phase for the SASE2 tunnel components, the need of a technical coordination activity is strongly pointed out. This is in particular important to make sure that the proper final tests are performed by the components owner  before e.g. first lasing attempts.

SQS (T. Baumann)

Lopp 1 being brought up. First tests to be started soon. The CAS and AE contact persons should be in involved in the tests as early as possible.

INFO

As reported by the PRC (J. Gruenert) during the operation meeting this morning, due to the first lasing attempt in SASE2 no lasing of SASE3 is to be expected until the middle of next week.

SPB

• Loops update: 1-4+8 this week. 5-7 Wed. next week. 11-13 end next week.
• Smaract motors for PAM are needed and Nerea is on it.
• It is not clear whether the AGIPD firmware has to be updated. To clarify with Jola when she is back. The info is important foe ITDM to plan the DAQ tests. Jola sick until 1st week of May. To be seen then.
• During the last users run it happened that a valve in XTD9 was closed but the beam did not trip. It is not clear why. Will be clarified with AE. Interlock definitions  have to be checked next week when HSinn is back. 
• During the switch on of the detector many Karabo devices had a problem even if no error messages were displayed. The problems disappeared restarting the devices. The errors could not be reproduced. Ot top of that it is possible to collect data only from 15 modules out of 16. The one missing changes every time the device is restarted. ASilenzi on it. 
• Technofoft motor with magnetic switches do not work. In the tunnel the same configuration works, Will be investigated by AE/CAS/SPB
• Motors upstream move sometimes by themselves. Discussion ongoing between AE SPB and CAS. To be adressed offline.

I will update the SASE3 MOV1 loop in 30 minutes. Please let me know if you would like me to postpone the update.

Best regards,

Marijan

SPB

• Timing tool for optical laser installed
• Sample chamber's PLC will be updated next week due to ongoing tests until monday. Pending.
• It is not clear whether the AGIPD firmware has to be updated. To clarify with Jola when she is back. The info is important foe ITDM to plan the DAQ tests. Pending. 
• During the last users run it happened that a valve in XTD9 was closed but the beam did not trip. It is not clear why. Will be clarified with AE. Pending.

AE

• SASE2 EPS Loop running
