Andreas Galler | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 17.08.2020 |
General Announcement:
- An informal Run coordinators' BKR chat to exchange ideas happens every day at 15:00.
It is a forum in case technical and scientific people wish to make formal requests. XO will send an e-mail with Zoom link.
- XO would like to ask instruments to pay attention to the parameters of the Delivery and Operators table, especially regarding the bunch limits for the North branch.
Ideally we shall discuss one week before beam delivery.
- H. Sinn notices that if SPB move some motors, this is temporarily cutting SA3 beam due to MPS. SQS has not observed this effect. Harald will further investigate.
Adrian M. says SCS impacts SPB in different ways.
- A. Galler mentions that SRP/task force will distribute updates related to the currently raising Covid issues.
CTRL:
- One group of motors at the same SCS/PLC was not accepting changes. A re-start with servers in small loops must help.
- Timing servers (switching off archive): CTRL wants to perform today or tomorrow morning the installation of the new version. Nobody seems against it.
DA:
- Nothing to report.
EEE:
- EEE understand the team request regarding the 5 Hz trigger will be done tomorrow.
- EEE waits for confirmation of SEPS update, possibly happening today or tomorrow. XO mentions Z. Ansari will be able to confirm today after lunch time.

- XO inquires on the DSSC activities in SCS: DET says it may be delayed a bit due to other activities; DET got a ticket regarding operation; DA believes the DSSC was
running and used.
ITDM:
- Comment on DSSC: it was used but we shall not forget that on the first day there was not a preparation and we could expect hiccups.
- A faulty memory module must be replaced and the exflgateway will be shut down shortly for this activity at around 12:00. An e-mail will be sent but nobody seems against
to it.
XRO:
- Nothing to report.
LAS:
- SA3 AMPHOS photodiodes still has problems. System is partially working and can be operated. LAS knows beam size and pointing do not change but not if loses power.
AMPHOS is contacted.
The consequence is that switching ON and OFF takes more time because it is done manually. Further measurements will be done and SA 3 instruments will be updated
accordingly.
- LAS informs its OCD team is not responsible for synchronization issues.
- SA1 and SA2 lasers are fine.
UNSYS:
- Small issues with SA3 PLC crashes: SA3 is operated without first cells. A re-start of the servers is needed, probably today or tomorrow. UNSYS will inform SCS and SQS
when this is fixed.
SPB:
- Nothing to report.
FXE:
- FXE says that SQS will need to perform some tests: this will be discussed in separate round.
MID:
- All fine.
HED:
- Data recording on Saturday night was not saved. Shift crew realized at the end of the shift that it was not saved - main data for the shift.
- ITDM investigated the issue after ticket arrived yesterday. It confirms data was not recorded and can't see why this happens as ticket arrived late. Even the folder of
the data was not recorded.
For the future: there is an assumption to look at the data every few minutes. ITDM will share procedures. Further discussions on flexibility for different systems/setups
have to be done.
- HED says the 5Hz test must be tomorrow by the morning. XO states that currently this is only a test then we will see what happens. HED has this understanding.
- HED has recorded several hundreds of microns in horizontal jitter. XRO says that it is important to work together for investigating the jitter.
HED will send the data to XRO and/or the coordinator of stability task force.
SCS:
- Not present.
SQS:
- Preparing next week user operation; still some problems with Zoom connection: SQS and ITDM will discuss the issue. |

Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 17.05.2021 |
General Announcement:
- Adrian Mancuso tells on the workaround for the crosstalk between SA1/SA3 documented by Harald Sinn. The idea was to switch off the feedback prior the bunch changes.
Harald S. says that it is not sure if this has worked. Adrian M. says that fir the future this has to be addressed as both SA1 and SA3 would like to change bunch number.
CTRL:
- Follow up from the DOC last week: some cameras in HED started in unexpected states. This has been understood and when the update is ready the deployment has to be
coordinated with HED.
DA:
- From DOC OCDs side only minor issues, that were solved by restarting devices.
EEE:
- Due to the special FD week starting today, there is no DOC this week.
The DRCs (Patrick G. until Thursday and Monica T. from Thursday) will receive the calls: for normal issues, please send a ticket; for urgent cases call the DRCs.
One can also contact directly the individual groups.
VAC:

DET:
- Incident at SPB with AGIPD detector: damage to several pixels. The cause for it is not yet known.

- Small injection incident over the weekend.
- Problem with one DAQ: number of pulses was OK but not the values. This was solved by the DOC and some data were wrongly saved for the users (attenuation values).
FXE:
- Timing tool tests at FXE during the night: crosstalk between SA1/SA3. When number of SA1 bunches were changed, the beam pointing was changing in SA3.
So FXE was requested to do not change bunch numbers what hindered the tests.
- LPD issue: progress has been made last week and is being accelerated.
MID:
- Quick warning: until Wednesday some Seeding tests will be ongoing at MID.
HED:
- Successfully experiment last week: HED thank all involved people.
