Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 12.08.2024 |
General Announcement:
- A power glitch happened on the weekend but had no effects on the machine. So far XO is not made aware of effects at XFEL. Please let XO know if you were affected.
CTRL:
- Nothing to report.
DA:
- Unfortunately the CAL noticed the past week that issues related to the upgrades in the maintenance period, which result in disturbances across most instruments with beam last week.
A new version of the online correction software meant to be installed then and tested during the bring-up days, but the old version ended up still running at most of them.
When bug fixes found since then were meant to be distributed in the past two weeks as we commonly do, this inadvertently also switched these to the new version, the last time on last Tuesday.
This was particularly aggravated by the fact the new version has some minor naming and UX changes, which the instruments had to adapt to now during operation.
Most issues reported through the DOC have been hot-fixed already, with more fixes prepared over the weekend. The DOC will contact instruments to apply these as needed.
EEE:
- FXE mono mitigation is in place and working.
VAC:
- Nothing to report.
XPD:
- Remarks on SA1 HIREX interlocks over the weekend has been addressed. Naresh K. is contact with XO, SPB/SFX and FXE.

XRO:
- Not present.
LAS:
- Working on SPB side and performance improvements were done.

SPB:
- Calibration issues as mentioned by DA. It is an operational risk for AGIPD until it is clear what happens with the calibration/errors.
FXE:
- Nothing to report apart of the Mono.
MID:
- All fine at MID. Calibration is not a big problem for MID as they do not use AGIPD.
HED:
- In contact with DOC to reset some ADCs.
SCS:

General Announcement:
- Andreas G. thanks all instruments that have so far sent back to XO the cw35 Beam Delivery tables and reminds the missing ones to do so until Thursday (tomorrow).
- Jan G., as PRC, informs the access to SQS shutter will probably happen on next week. In case of possibility during this week he will directly inform the respective persons.
- Steve A. mentions on the timing related issues: it has been investigated with the help of instruments.
- XO asks groups for any time feedback on issues related to Covid rules, e.g. amount of masks.
- Jan G. informs several members of XPD team (and also CTRL and ITDM personnel) will be working at PetraIII while performing beamtime, from Thursday until mid-next week.
CTRL:
- Activities on GATT: Follow-up of Karabo update shows incompatibility with new version. CTRL, Raul and XO rolled back to the previous version and it works again.
- At around 8:00pm a notification service in SASE3 was sent: watchdogs went in unexpected state.
DA:
- Nothing special to report.
EEE:
- Today we bring back the crate for MID/STL and we start with HED requested changes.
- XO thanks Nerea on yesterday's work of Interlock conditions for the solid attenuators in the tunnels.
To protect the silicon screen first one has to insert the diamond screens. Nerea J. says this is in the motion loops and not EPS.
VAC:
- Raul V. thanks for the quick reaction of CTRL and XO to solve the code of GATT (which is 2.5years old).
If we have a chance during the next winter shutdown a change on the software system will be planned to permit the use of new Karabo versions.
- VAC has requested a couple of ZZ's for next days/weeks: on SQS shutter and other devices inspections.
XPD:
- No incidents since Monday to be reported. However, last Saturday there was a downtime on the XTD1/XGM due to a high voltage setting.
Probable cause was a wrong command at the DOOCS server. XPD believes it was a onetime incident and will look into it if it happens again.
DET:
- Working with Jungfrau in SPB; DSSC in SQS/SCS.
- Supporting other groups' activities.
ITDM:
- The DAQ update has been finished: so far it looks good.
- ITDM is ready to act but waits for more clarifications on the SRP requested work on Interlock.

- A ZZ was done to switch off the M3 cooling. The jitter has then reduced from 295u (RMS) to about 211u. FXE considers this only moderate jitter and will proceed with commissioning.
- Feedback system is fixed with parameters configurations – we are following it up to find when this was changed (if so).
MID:
- Issues with feedback Macro are observed and Robert S. investigates together with MID.
HED:
- Not present.
SCS:
- Not present.

- Network failure: systems are very sensitive to network failures (switch failure). Relates to replacement of devices.
XRO:
- Some SA3 cameras lost configurations (maybe related to the SA3 event during the weekend): fixed by M. Vannoni.
- SCS/SQS teams: structure for the M6 chamber has to be fixed (motors): XRO will communicate with the instruments, to keep the motors in proper conditions.
LAS:
- PP-lasers are running. Small minor issues:
1. SA3 problem with displaying number of pulses. Solved by CTRL by installing latest Karabo server;
2. SA2 still shows small problem with regulations/settings, spectrum started drifting. Can be fixed by OCD but ticket was created.
UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.
SPB:
- Preparing for user experiment this week.
FXE:
- Nothing to report:
- Last Friday PP-laser could not config laser pattern. Tomasz J. says the OCD laser is aware and asks to please also inform DOC/DRC in such cases as LAS can't help in
this time.
Monica T. confirms that one has to call the DOC and invite instruments that do not get beam to also join the Monday 13:00 DOC meetings.
MID:
- Suffered with SA2 PLC downtime - mono lost positions.
