  • 5Hz mode tests were performed and successful
  • CSS being commissioned. X mov elmo stage still has to be configured. Will be done probably today.
  • After some updates, AGIPD run control topology light does not go to green. Start stop buttons do not work properly (cannot be seen when the detector stops aquiring data). CAS to have a look.

​​FXE

SPB/SFX

  • CRL implementation in the hutch. Tests can start today.
  • CSS Test have been started. One elmo devide has to be implemented today. Interlocks have to be tested (later).
  • AGIPD motion. Middle layer final tests will be done during next reconfiguration od the detector.
  • Julabo chiller: loop 5 has been updated (interlocks definition, setpoints...) AE+DET working on it. seems ok.

FXE

SQS

  • Loop 8 and 11 up and running.

SCS

  • Loop 4 being updated. Loop 5 (DSSC related) will be updated this and next week.
  •  Loop 13 running with 1 crate. Part of cables will be delivered by EETf this week. 

MID

  • Smaract stages do not work propery and reliably. High priority. Has to be clarified with AE since it is not clear whether this is the same issue that SCS had and for whoch they developed a workaround. ==> BB will contact the Smaract company to address the issue.
  • Epix power issue has been fixed. The problem was a parameter not properly set in the power supply. No interlocks are being used. MID is aware of that.
  • Loop 9, 4 and 12 will be updated with interlocks next week.
  • Exapod control vs data policy issue (also affecting HED and SPB, as well as other components). The exapod control implementation via Beckhoff requires time and is planned for the end of April. For the time being SPB and MID control the exapods via software. This make somewhat difficult to store all the data in the correct way and is not fullfilling the data policy. PSPO will report the issue to TT. At this stage a reshuffling of priorities to speed up the HW implementation seems not to help, since it is anyway planned for end of April.
  • Loop 12 ready next week.

HED

  • Loop 5 being commissioned. Should be completed by today. Loop 7 cables are been reorganized and the commissioning will strat tomorrow. Planned to be completed by the end of the week. Lilla cables between patch panels and components will be asked and discussed with AE. 

 

OPT Lasers

  • SA2 PPL work ongoing. ready by next week.

XRO

  • Commissioning of M1 in SASE3 took place. An intervention concerning a limit switch has to be done (not critical)

XPD

  • Hirex 2 - Commissioning ongoing. Some imporvements, especially concerning DAQ is needed and will be discussed by AK with ITDM.

 

VAC

  • SASE2 beam permission button is hidden in the vacuum expert panel. It is not the case for SASE1 and 3... To be clarified with VAC, XRO and CAS.

DET

AE

  • 5Hz operation (HW trigger dependent on the bunch pattern) mode pre tests OK. New tests planned for tomorrow (SPB and SCS). MCP and hirex will also be included in the test with low priority.

​​ITDM

EET

CAS

SRP

  • A power supply was switched off by AE and found on again the next day despite a sign put on the device. This should not happen. SRP advices, in similar cases, also to add a contact of the person who switched off the device for safety reasons.
  • XS5000 controller in SCS issue. SRP clarifies that everybody must act in case of clear danger (e.g. preventig the access to a particular area). In this case, it was OK that UB and TS prevented the access to the SCS laser hutch to other people before the controller was put in a safe state.  Having said that, the responsibility lies with the scientific group operating the device.

SPB/SFX

  • CRL implementation in the hutch. Cables at the back of the crate have been re-shuffled by EETf. VAC vessel had a leak and is being re-sealed and pumped. If everything is fine and the vessel can be brought to the hutch the motors test can in principle start already this week.  Interaction SPB/SRP ongoing to define operations parameters.
  • CSS Test have been started. 3 encoder connectors need to be fixed by EETf (not sure can be done by the end of this week).
  • AGIPD motion. Test ok.
  • Julabo chiller: waiting for feedback from Julabo to know whether the chiller is going to be repaired on time for next users. If not, SPB/SFX are trying to borrow one from CFEL. VAC interlocks would not be operational due to the different type of chiller. Needs to be evaluated and eventually take the risk (DET, SPB).

SPB/SFX

  • CRL implementation in the hutch will happen in April. AE and EET involved. ==> ZA needs the documentation of the CRL. The point is SRP to be able to evaluate the focusing properties to give beam permission after installation. TH will ask directly PVagovic. Still pending since PV is not here.
  • AGIPD motion. Prelminary tests are being performed to be ready for the final tests in the march shutdown. Still planned.

FXE

SQS

SCS

  • When operating the machine in the train pattern (not  10 Hz) mode and pulse on demand mode the data from the XGMs in XTD10 and SCS is not recorded. ==> That's still the case and it is caused by a Doocs update not agreed with CAS.

MID

  • Issue with the remote control of the ion pumps.MID OPT now ok. MID exp being implemented (waiting for some HW + Support from CY). Basically understood. Will be implemented in agreement with the instrument (requires access + fixed cables)
  • Smaract stages do not work propery and reliably. High priority. Has to be clarified with AE since it is not clear whether this is the same issue that SCS had and for whoch they developed a workaround.

HED

  • Cables for the experiment hutch are being installed but some quality issues occured. Last pallets of cables have been sent back for proper confectioning. It is possible that there will be some delays. KA will discuss with LW how to prioritize cables to eventually minimize the impact on the commissioning. ==> Quality issues are being addressed. The company increased the manpower for cable confectioning and installation. KS prepared a list of priorities. AE informs that they will be probably able only to provide fw for loops 5 and 7 by the end of March (collision with many shutdown activities). PG will send details to KA. This will eventually require a decision concerning priorities.  Ongoing. ==> There will be a dedicated meeting after this one to discuss the details, coordinate the process (Cables/fw export/ Loops start).
  • CRL2 in XTD6 - issue with motors losing steps. Will be fixed in the March shutdown. ==> L. Batchelor
  • DAQ is ready. Data sources list has been sent to CAS. Will be also sent to ITDM for implementation.==> Status not clear

  • 2.3.7. Hotfix available today (pipieline in middle layer devices has been optimized). To be decided by the instr. whether to install it or not. Recommended.
  • HED kick off meeting for preparation for users has to happen.
  • XGMs: DOOCS was updated without agreement with CAS and this lead to problems with the controls. In this condition CAS can give only limited support , because they do not know excactly what was deployed and whoch tests were done. In general, this goes against the good practice rule of not updating stuff during the beamtime.

SRP

  • The self rescue training is supposed to become part of the access requirement in the DACHS system for the tunnel. This caused a lot of concerns during the meeting (visitors? Access to components only in the very firrt part of the tunnel ). PSPO will discuss with SRP .==> SRP is trying to find a way to minimize the impact of this training on the XFEL employees. Discussion with DESY needed. ==> The implementation date is the 01.05. The legal requirements are quite strict. SRP is trying to find a solution with DESY (proper training every 3 yrs + yearly updates? to be seen). Advice from SRP is to get the training. SScherz can support booking the trainings.
  • HED Radiation interlock issues: no agreement yet to get beam permission. Another meeting is planned for tomorrow (SRP chairs).==> Solved
  • EUPs: Procedures for the electrical safety trainings and appointments are being clarified (UB, TH, WUS) ==> 2 training per week (in german) are planned for KW 13,14,15. SRP and TS will approach the GLeaders to decide who has to take the trainig first in the different groups. PGessler and SHauff point out that it is not clear whether the policy is olready in place or not. THaas mentioned that we are still in the transition phase and a presentation was given in thre STGL meeting and it was responsibility of the GLs to inform the group members. TH will send AV the material that will be circulated to the readiness mailing list and  in this elog ElectricalSafety.pdf.
