CTRL:
- Remind on the update of some specific Karabo installations to fix bugs (Data logger installations) to start today (e-mail was sent to the readiness).
- Bunch pattern statistics devices need to be fixed today at the same time as the data loggers (relates to lose of time stamps in lasers).
- Upgrade on instruments are coordinated by ICIs; Updates of Mc2 motors today.
- Z. Ansari asks if updates of MID will affect interlocks as well; Valerii B. answers this is a Karabo update and not PLCs, so no effect is expected.
- On recent days CTRL finds Karabo broker pileup and this was successfully understood; DOC was preventively monitoring it and fixed it beforehand.
DA:
- No OCD calls for DA;
- Collaboration and preparation for supporting SPB/SFX last week and for beamtime continuation in two weeks.
EEE:
- Today 08:30 it was found SA1 tunnel racks lost power. The uTCAs were also down but not the one in room 1.14. It affected SA1 tunnels loops such as Vacuum and motion.
The guess is on a power glitch. XO will bring up to the machine side and eventually correlated with the Easter Sunday's event.
VAC:
- Recovering the SA1 tunnel loops from 08:30 downtime. All seems to be fine right now.
- VAC asks if FXE is running cryo coolers. FXE tells they were running and will check the signals for possible issues.

- SA3 PP-laser with several small problems: damage to optics (need to exchange one AMPHOS stage); interlock tripped due to door problems and LAS went OFF.
LAS hopes to bring back laser and make available for instruments by tomorrow.
UNSYS:
- SA1/cell12 Quad mover sudden move last week: it was not related to a software issue and is under further investigation on Doocs side. A Doocs command was sent.
SPB:
- Experiment last week: quite successful and not many issues.
FXE:
- Nothing to add.
MID:
- All fine.
HED:
- A Motor on the CRL HED chamber was engaged and not moving (hardware issue). It may need a ZZ. It is not related to the CRL's arms.

- ADC is offline. HED will contact Bruno F. offline.
SCS:
- Not present.
SQS:
- Commissioning for preparing next experiment.
- Issue with digitizers that can't be used: Bruno F. adds that action is scheduled for 14:00 as discussed with SQS's members. |

General Announcement:
- In the aftermath of the severe power glitch, XO will be grateful if groups drop a message of what was affected in your groups. This will help us to understand effects of the latest power glitch.
- Status of machine: last night we had 2.3mJ in SA3 and 0.5mJ in SA1. Right now machine is under tuning - good chance of beam available for FDs today.
CTRL:
- Follow-up to the power glitch. CTRL had to restart the Karabo systems due to the main network to the brokers being down for minutes. Few follow-ups later that day but in general things have recovered.
If groups experience troubles after running systems, please write ticket to CTRL.
DA:
- DA has deployed at SPB the latest Karabo 2.11.4. This concludes the cycle to all instruments.
EEE:
- Nerea J. informs Andreas K. detected that FXE imagers needs to be debugged by restarting the EPS loop. This will take out beam permission and may be organized for Monday morning.

Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 18.05.2020 |
General Announcement:
- Starting today 18.05 the XTD1 tunnel will be closed. It is not accessible until the summer shutdown. All other tunnels remain open.
- XO and PMO have sent a communication for updating the task list. Please indicate if tasks were already carried out. Deadline for submitting it back is Wednesday 17.05.
- SA1 instruments emergency power off on Friday 15.05: originated from PLCs on ProfiNet from Desy.
It is still under investigation and we should make sure that sudden power off does not happen again, which may harm equipment such as detectors.
CTRL:
- SPB informed issues on the notification service. CTRL appreciate the feedback and is working on it.
- It is planned to deploy the new Karabo 9.0 at MID this week.
- CTRL is working in few problems with Imagers (corrupted data) - data is flowing but not being displayed.
DA:
- No conflict or issues: working as planned.
EEE:
- SA1 VAC loop update is schedule for today.
- Friday power off on SA1: problem came from the Desy signals. It may require extra work at Desy - PLC cables are still disconnected.
VAC:
- No issues to be reported.
XPD:
- IMG issue with corrupted data was informed to CTRL who is investigating. SA2 IMG has to be fixed for use on next Monday 25.05.
DET:
- AGIPB detector at SPB suffers from power off but its Chiller was recovered without consequences. The detector itself has to be checked.
- DET has placed the detectors in safe states, but there is nothing to protect the detectors against power outages.
ITDM:
- Nothing to report.
XRO:
- Nothing to report.
LAS:
- SA1 PPL1 laser switched off on Friday around 14:30. The reason is possibly linked to low air flow. It remains unclear if there is any relation with the instruments
power off.
SPB:
- Last week worked on Jungfrau and AGIPB detectors.
- Nothing else to report other than the power outage in the hutches.
FXE:
- Instrument recovered well from the power outage.
- It is planned the cabling installation for the next couple of days.
MID:
- Continuing with installation and commissioning. On Wed it is planned to check devices in XTD6.
HED:
- All work goes as expected.
- A plan for the XTD6 work will be done this week. The activity in tunnel shall take place next week.
SCS:
- Nothing to report.
SQS:
- Cabling installation is done. SQS reports that due to lack of crane operator in the group they had to wait some time until a crane operator was available. |

General Announcement:
- A. Galler reminds the audience on the daily informal BKR chat taking place at 15:00: link was sent by e-mail.
CTRL:
- Tests on the HED bunch patter / 5Hz were done yesterday;
- Five devices related to the timing server will be re-started on Monday. This update of timing server shall be transparent.
- Other requests will be discussed separated in another rounds with respective involved groups.
- For Laser switch between SCS/SQS please call LAS OCD for troubleshooting (experts mean faster solutions).
DA:
- DA reminds the group on its Redmine ticketing system that was implemented in February and helps on the planning and scheduling of activities. Instruments are encouraged
to use the DA ticket system.
EEE:
- Initial test with HED 5 Hz pulse on demand went successfully yesterday.
- Missing crate in HED will be installed.
- SCS installation of cables will be done.
- The special trigger for overlapping bunch in SQS was fixed this morning. CTRL was asked to prepare another parameter in Karabo.
This shall be OK and tomorrow it shall be fine to use the adjusting the timing. S. Hauf points a device has to be adjusted.
- A. Galler informs the tentative date for the SEPS update will be next Monday.
VAC:
- ZZ done on Monday to check status of SA3 devices.
XPD:
- X-ray PES undergoing tests at Petra-III / Desy.
- A SQS pop-in could not be driven out of the limit switch this night. This was solved in the morning (back to work) and it was related to a problem with motor counts.
DET:
- Preparation for user run at SQS: still some data to be taken with DSSC but it has been under work.
ITDM:
- Together with CTRL and DA, it was set dedicated server for logging in to get more insight in the experiment.

will be set today.
- In addition each experiment will have a dedicated zoom room.
XRO:
- SA1 M1 continues stay in place. By the other side, XRO would like to ask for a ZZ to complete the chiller level.

LAS:
- SA1 laser: the front-end is switching off in regular base (3x since Monday). There is not enough power for experiment.
Meeting with manufacture take place today at 10 to build strategy to investigate and decide next steps. LAS will inform next steps.
PP-laser is expected to be working for this and coming weeks.

- SA2 laser is fine.
UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.
SPB:

- Some alignment activities were interrupted due to the Laser issue. At 20% lower energy, it is not enough. Impact on commissioning if laser is not back may affect user
experiments later.
FXE:
- Nothing to report.
MID:
- Commissioning of the split delay line: lower branch is successfully done.
HED:
