General remarks:
Stable beam only to be expected starting from 1.03. for SASE1 instruments commissioning
There is no guarantee for parasitic
beam delivery to the experiments. If it happens at all it will most probably be during the last week of Feb. This has to be agreed on the fly |

Hi everyone,
there was some miscommunication between us and DESY: only the Timing firmware and doocs server need to be updated, the RTM was already been replaced.
This require update is similar to the one perform two weeks ago (see entry #449). |
