According to this regulation the work at the back of the racks in the XHEXP1 and in the entire racks in the tunnels can only be done by certified EFK (Elektrofachkraefte) or by EUPs with an additional training. The additional training can only be provided after summer. The nomination of XFEL EFKs is suffering a delay due to the fact that is not clear who should nominate them (TS, UBR, HR?).  PG reported the problem and also the fact that no official statements were made in the past concerning the topic. THaas is trying to clarify the status, and come up with a statement and proposal in the Operations meeting.

CAS

  • Release cycle for the next Karabo version in progress.

ITDM

  • At 10 today the doors of the balcony rooms and racks will be opened due to short interruptions (20 minutes per tunnel) of the cooling water from DESY. This should not cause any issues. If the pomps intervention will require more time, the ITDM racks will be switched off. 

SRP

  • From SBP/SFX: Currently, it is not clear what to do if one of the Pandoras goes off. This apparently happened @ FXE on the night from Sat.-Sunday, and it took 12 hours to fix it. Update from SRP: Occasionally Pandoras trigger radiation alarms. It is not clear why. One possibility is that this is caused by electronic noise. Discussions with D3 are ongoing. Right now an expert is needed to reboot the system since it is not a simple off/on procedure, but data has to be analysed. There is a a document in preparation by SRP/D3 that will allow more people to be able to perform this procedure, but it is not ready yet. A side note is that there is no OCD agreement in place for these experts and the reboot is done on the best effort level. ==> Z.Ansari will be also able soon to reboot the system. ==> The issue will eventually be put up for discussion in the operation board. Statement from SRP is that there are nnot enough people to ensure an OCD service.
  • Racks in HED outside the rackroom. They are too high and the top cannot be reached. SRP/JE/SRP will follow the issue up. ==> A solution has been found: TS will modify the existing movable stairs.

  • Calibration server for mid has memory problems and needs to be replaced. Calibration pipeline has to be moved to a different servers. Will be discussed offline with MID.==>

HED

  • Yesterday the loop 6 was updated. There were issue with pumps switching off and causing overhead for HED. PG will investigate why this happened... ==> the procedure was clear to EEE and foresaw the switching off of the pumps at some point. This was supposed to be clear also to the instruments buy clearly it was not the case. 
  • Nanocube PLC has been integrated.

EEE

  • Crash of PLCs because of not a number values. The fix on the PLC side requires the update of the loops framework and can be done only in the August shutdown. By the end of the week a filtering tool will be availbale in Karabo.

CAS

  • Karabo 2.5.1. hotfix is being prepared (Fixing 2 bugs in the framework and several GUI issues). ==> Done
  • Tomorrow at 14:00 there will be a test of the pulse on demand feature (conditional triggers) in FXE. (AS/BF) ==> Done

ITDM

  • Calibration server for mid has memory problems and needs to be replaced. Calibration pipeline has to be moved to a different servers. Will be discussed offline with MID.==> It is ongoing. In general this issue led to a loss of beamtime for MID. Alessandro suggests that in case of hardware failure there should be a joint ITDM-CAS decision/effort on what to do.
  • Data migration: it was slow in the past days due to some script not being used for safety reasons. This is being fixed. Hovewer, due to the queue of old data to be migrated it will take some more time until full performance will be reached.

MID

  • Issue with the remote control of the ion pumps. It is not possible to switch on and off the pumps remotely due to the fact that a wrong terminal was used . It seems this was also the same issue in SASE1 and 3. AE and EET are on it to fix it and update the doucumentation. ==> AE needs to perform a test at MID before deploying the solution. Since there are other priorities now the test has not happened yet. ==> Test has been shifted to HED.
  • An automatic chain of communicaton is needed (TS?) to notify relevant peopole when the power is down. ==> UBr will follow up the automatic notification setup.

SRP

  • FXE beam permission issue form last week: Due to the fact that the CRL can focus the beam on the beamstop and the operation betweek 7 and 14 keV was required, a proper analisys of the radiation safety had to be carried out. Between 7 and 9 keV the air is absorbing mostly of the light and there are no concerns. For energies above 7 keV the transmission increases. In order to allow operation the following requirements were set: 4W max power. B4C in front of the beamstop (efficiency grows with energy in this range)
  • 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 .

  • From SBP/SFX: Currently, it is not clear what to do if one of the Pandoras goes off. This apparently happened @ FXE on the night from Sat.-Sunday, and it took 12 hours to fix it. Update from SRP: Occasionally Pandoras trigger radiation alarms. It is not clear why. One possibility is that this is caused by electronic noise. Discussions with D3 are ongoing. Right now an expert is needed to reboot the system since it is not a simple off/on procedure, but data has to be analysed. There is a a document in preparation by SRP/D3 that will allow more people to be able to perform this procedure, but it is not ready yet. A side note is that there is no OCD agreement in place for these experts and the reboot is done on the best effort level. ==> Z.Ansari will be also able soon to reboot the system. No additioanl news.
  • Test panel to test the different alarms will be mounted in the hall soon.
  • After the safety walk in SPB/SFX some issues have been found (e.g. concerning the Biolab, Rackroom) and forwarded to A. Mancuso. SRP and AMancuso will follow the issues up.
  • Racks in HED outside the rackroom. They are too high and the top cannot be reached. SRP/JE/SRP will follow the issue up.
