- Follow-up of MID mirror feedback: problem is hard to replicate; yesterday happened again and recovered itself. MID reports it is stuck at exactly this moment. CTRL will investigate.
- Zunaira A. says on the aftermath of the Saturday AIBS alarm many automatic e-mails are kept to be sent and only today an e-mail saying problem is solved was sent.
Steffen H. comments that it was informed that a test of the system has to be done due to an occurring bug and currently it has to be manually reset. The test is to take place in winter maintenance time.
DA:
- Nothing to report.
EEE:
- Nothing to be reported besides the Saturday issue with SXP losing power which affected the AIBS. Zunaira A. says devices are in the UPS system (Pandora, which did not give alarm).
Oleg E. which will exchange components during winter maintenance time.

- Nothing to report.
DET:
- Nothing to report.

SPB:
- Nothing to report.
FXE:
- Problem with BAM “S” not properly working.

General Announcement:
- XO has sent to the support groups and instruments the call for the winter maintenance tasks. Deadline for submission is Oct. 16th.
CTRL:
- Friday night incident with signals of SA3 vacuum loop. It took hours to recover the system.
- A deployment/restart of online cluster nodes will be done today meaning 10 minutes downtime. Devices / clone devices shortly unavailable during the
deployment.
- CTRL reminds that tickets that may require Doocs bridge are better worked if sent during the week time.
DA:
- No major issues to report.
- DA will carry an offline discussion with CTRL on the cluster nodes deployment. CTRL says this is for the CPU nodes.
EEE:
- Nothing major to report. No incidents during the weekend.
- Looking into PL/fast ADC mTCA issue with SA1 PP-laser. To be discussed separately with LAS, XO after the meeting: next solution is to exchange CPU -
needing coordination with ITDM and CTRL.
VAC:
- No major issues. Karabo SA3 VAC loops look fine now.
XPD:
- PES: ZZ on Friday to fix issue with a broken gauge, mostly likely related to the power failure. Cables had to be switched. PES works again.
- Tests next week using PES: Joakim L. will set the system.
- Change of SA3 XGM settings during this week: Theo M. will change setup during weekdays.
DET:
- Nothing major to report.
ITDM:
- No OCD calls during the weekend.
XRO:
- Nothing to report.
LAS:
- Shutdown AMPHOS in SA3 PP-laser (SCS/SQS): LAS asks for one single point of communication with the instruments; This laser needs work today morning to do
not compromise the week.
- E-mail for communication can be scs@xfel.eu and sqs@xfel.eu where all group members receive the message.
- SA2 PP-laser is ready for next week.
- SA1 PP-laser still show problems with ADC cards. CPU will be exchanged - to be discussed after this meeting.
UNSYS:
- ZZ intervention last week.
- Couple of hiccups remotely fixed.
SPB:
- Nothing to report, besides issues with PP-laser.
FXE:
- ADQ with different sampling rates issue was solved by EEE.
- Plan is to work on the Jungfrau commissioning.
MID:
- MID requests if there is planned a meeting to discuss the train-ID issue. Steve A. comments that yes, a meeting will be organized next week.
HED:
- Asks on the request for a pulse on demand test during today. F. Wolff-Fabris says this has been sent to the machine RCs and will be discussed during the
RC meeting at 10:00.
As soon as a decision is done this will be communicated.
SCS:
- Nothing to report.
SQS:
- Nothing to add apart of PP-laser issue. |

- If an instrument experiences a feature of machine that does not work, please do not hesitate in contacting the PRC, who is there to support you.
CTRL:
- Nothing to report.
DA:
- On Wednesday an update with minor interruption is due to happen.
EEE:
- DOC announcement: there will be no DOC but DRC is in place (Patrick Gessler).
- Jour-fixe meeting is happening today at 13:00.
VAC:
- Nothing to report.
XPD:
- SA3 FEL Imager: under investigation.
DET:
- Nothing major to report.
ITDM:
- Maintenance of GPFS system on Tuesday (user system for offline storage will not be available tomorrow).
XRO:
- Ticket for follow up of the SRA XTD1 interlock (motor positions do not correspond to actual location - to be investigated by EEE).
- Maurizio V. will be in OCD for XRO this week (blue week).
LAS:
- Issues with timing and triggers: work around by switching OFF the pattern. Further discussion to take place.
- Laser-2 change caused a damage to SPB laser. No optical damage, only electronics.
- SCS reported laser “disappeared”. Meeting and work shall involve DESY group. XO will reinforce with Desy.
UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.
SPB:
- Issue with Laser;
- Issue with XGM: loose single shot. It was reported to the PRC.
Laurent M. says they tried to setup XGM when it went down. He proposes to setup a specific Karabo device that works only with the one in use. XPD will discuss offline.
FXE:
- Work with new cryo system this week.
MID:
- Info for DRC: MID expects to use beam on Sunday during the day.
HED:
- All fine at HED.
SCS:
- Issue with BAM stabilization. It was requested but due to issues it was turned OFF during the weekend. It took time to realize it was OFF and to find experts to bring up again.
- Power outage in some devices at the experimental hutch. TS was called and came to fix it.
- Liubov S. says problem relates to the laser interlock occurred: it searched few times before one could eventually set it.
