General Announcement:
- XO reminds every day at 15:00 there is an informal BKR chat where one might get interesting news and ideas. If you would like to join, the link appears in the BKR e-
log.
- K. Wrona asks instruments if there are things to be improved regarding remote user communication or process, please send suggestions and/or comments to him/ITDM.
CTRL:
- Electronics team is installing new digitizer with LAS group.
DA:
- Nothing to report: OCD was quiet during last week.
EEE:
- Fast ADC system issues: problem with HED hutch. Signals were not properly given due to wrong configurations. It has been solved.
- All XPD systems had same issue: last Karabo update had a default address wrongly set and was the cause for reading wrong numbers.
This was solved with help of CTRL but one crate remains to have the ADC card re-started, probably today.
- SCS auto scanner: suspicion links to the loop that runs the motor is not fast enough.
- SCS and SQS have cabling installations planned for this week.
- Theo M. asks which ADC had a train-ID issue. Patrick G. answers that looks the XTD10, crate 3.2. It has been taken care already.
VAC:
- PRC contacted VAC on Thursday with XGM in XTD1: faulty pump that survived the weekend. VAC will exchange it today.
- HED problems with M3: VAC and XRO are working on it now and it probably to exchange an spindle or mechanical structure.
- SCS GATT stopped working on Saturday: power glitch caused a long shutdown of cooling water that switched OFF pumps and GATT.
XPD:
- Restarted XGM; also SCS XGM had a faulty gauge.
DET:
- Nothing major: Detectors were working during the weekend.
ITDM:
- Not aware of any major issue.
XRO:
- M3 issue: mirror looks fine but the mechanical structure to move the mirror horizontally failed. Mirror surface looks mostly fine, only one InGa drop is seen.
XRO and VAC are in tunnel to try to make it a fix now. There may be also a problem with Platinum coating if drops of InGa are on it.
LAS:
- SA1 laser will be down for the entire week for exchanging parts.
- SA2 laser uTCA update today: shall be back on Tue/Wed;
- SA3 laser issues with Amphos are being exchanged/fixed. Probably by WED afternoon this laser is back.
- Upgrade of control PCs ongoing this week.
- LAS states SA3 laser is planned to be available tonight.
UNSYS:
- Yesterday night a problem in one cell in SA1: fixed today in the morning and is fine.
SPB:
- No major issues during the week.
FXE:
- Continuing with commissioning this week.
- Helium supply was exchanged yesterday during the weekend.
- FXE also says they had remote users and process/communication worked nicely.
MID:
- Would like to remind about the bunch train-IDs. MID need feedback to inform users who have experiment in two weeks.
HED:
- Stopped operation On Friday night due to M3 issues: photon beam can not be directed to HED.
- Problems with ADCs and controls last week: help was received.
SCS:
- Not present.
- Remote experiment also seems to have worked.
SQS:
- Remote shutter control seems that worked once but no reasons/correlations were observed.
- Experiment with remote users worked nicely. |
