  • Digitizers are ready, have been tested by CAS ==> to be be installed / integrated probably next week
  • Different GUIs were reporting varying values for STATUS on different clients / machines ==> ARound will make sure a proper description of the issue (which machines, which clients, when, ...) will be brought to the attention of the proper people @ CAS.

FXE

SCS

  • MTeichmann attended, fresh from vacation, nothing to report, everything is "awesome".

 MID

  • Commissioning the cryomanipulator. Had to use a couple of work arounds in order to align it with the beam (travel range issues it appears).
  • The AGIPD Julabo chiller failed on Saturday, it has to be sent in. Meetings this mornings should clarify what other options remain to support the user experiments as planned.

  • Nanocube being used with the scan tool. 
  • Cleanup and preparation for the next experiments ongoing
  • VAC interlock has been tested due to an accidental trigering of a vacuum valve. Some dcetails will need to be fixed.

HED

  • Loop 6 will be updated as soonas the new interlock definitions will be available. KS will talk to HED and EEE to make sure vacuum systems are safe during the update.
  • Loop 7 and 9 will be updated today.

  • Crash of PLCs because of not a number values. Karabo client is now available to filer NaN values.
  • 2.5.1. available. FIxes a bug for cameras (restricted ROI), and GUI machines. 

ITDM

  • Some issues with the GPFS will results in slowness of the system. Has been fixed.
  • Cleanup of the GPFS during the weekend. Petabytes of data have been recorded. This may reduce the time in which the data is available on the GPFS for the next user runs. 
  • Xfel gateway will be shut down for a short time today around lunchtime. JS will send a mail to readiness with the precise time.

MID

  • 2 Motors have to be checked: Rotation of the hexapod and the y motion of the AUX3 are needed for next week.
  • DPS turbo pump 3 behaving strangely. EEE to have a look
  • Loop 7 has to be updated. Offline discussion MS/JH

HED

  • Grating holder motion HED OPT. Motors to be commissioned. EEE required
  • Cable needed for the Jungfrau timing signal. KS BF to discuss offline.

SPB/SFX

  • ADC have been requested. HW should be already installed (SPB to check). BF will discuss with SPB how to proceed.

FXE

  • LPD is running.

SQS

  • MPODS power supplies are behaving strangely (1 channel trips, but the power supply does not send any error message). CY following it up but the priority is now with the DSSC (working on powering sequence. To be then adopted later also for other detectors.
  • The pnCCD is being set up. AE will be required to help for axes commisisoning next week.Some issues with electronics to read data have been solved. Tests to understand the reasons of the issues are being performed by AE.

SCS

 MID

  • Setting up next weeks experiments. Some equipment that the users are bringing have to be integrated. This may couse some delays.
  • 2 crates for the remote contro of vacuum compoennts are required to run in the intrument. CY wants to be present. There are difficulties finding a suitable time slot both for MS and CY. To be addressed offline.==> done, interlock tests have to be scheduled by MID.

HED

  • Epix card died. Workaround using some MID infrastructure has been proposed. Risks will be presented by HED ( Sebastian Goede) to MID and a decision has to be taken by the group leaders.

  • Updated pipeline in SPB has been updated yesterday. Seems to work. MID probably will be updated today. Has to be discussed offline with ITDM.

  • DSSC DAQ was basically not commissioned due to lack of time (although scheduled). Now the detector cannot be oprated. More time has to be scheduled for DAQ commissioning. Meanwhile test on the VETO system are being performed. This would help to save much less data (200 images/train with VETO instead of 800 images/train).

SPB/SFX

  • Getting ready for the shutdown. No relevant issues.

SCS

SQS

  • PLCs have been switched off. Parameters have been saved.
  • GATT loop update will happen on tuesday. The schedule of the other loop updates are being agreed with EEE.

 MID

​​HED

  • Due to missing endswitches / interlock conditions, some YAG-screens have been burnt. Software limit switches will be implemented probably next week. Definitions have been provided by Karen Appel to EEE.
  • Instrument PLCs also switched off.

VAC

XRO

  • HED mono has been opened and the crystal analized. The crystal shows radiation damages. XRO is discussing with HED to understand how to proceed. Since it its not yet clear why the damages happened, it would probably make sense to continue using the same cristal sending the beam to a different region.

XPD

EEE

  • PLC Powering down in SPB SFX is being performed today.
  • Several loop updates are being planned and organized.

CAS

  • Gain curve device has been commissioned with and approved by L. Samoylova.
  • New structure for the CAS contacts to the instruments has been prepared by HSantos. He will send a mail around with the details.
