DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Nothing directly from EEE;
- P. Gessler update on the 50Hz tests on 17.06: starts at 8AM and the master timing will stop sync with 50Hz. 
This produces a short jump of trains but shall automatically return back. When switching sync back again it will also jump once more. 
Idea is to test the noise reduction from the 50Kz Mains line and test if one can run without this sync with the 50Hz in future. If things run fine during the test one would run for two days without this 
Synchronization. 
Directed affected groups are already participating in meetings.

SPB:
- Pulse energy during the nights is low; started with 1mJ and later dropped to ~600uJ.

FXE:
- Digitizer problem during the week was solved:
This occurred when a change of bunch number was requested; the digitizers are reconfigure via mid-layer device whenever number of pulses/frequency is updated. 
It is not clear if this was the cause of the issue. DOC reboot the hardware which resume data acquisition. 
Today (Monday) morning FXE noted that another mid-layer device was not displaying digitizer data properly; since the digitizers are the base class, it could be that 
communication was not reinitiated after the hardware reboot. Re-instantiating the mid-layer fix the issue.

1. Summary Task list was released last Friday 22.11; 
2. A total of 10 working days is predicted for the WMP; 
3. Dates for availability of Karabo, timing, DAQ, online storage were shown (selected period from Dec. 11 to Dec.18th); 
4. Cooling water and technical gases maintenance (Dec.11th-20th); 
5. Electricity: localized task in SA3 SCS exp. Hutch with installation of new emergency OFF button on January 15th: power will go OFF; Interlock tests light in all SASE hutches on January 15th; 
6. In case of questions please contact xo-planning@xfel.eu

- As PRC, Jan G. mentions a full report for the weekend events is available at the Operations e-log: 
1. events on Saturday limited SA1 and SA3 to a max of 30 bunches combined; caused by communication failure by the EPS - partially solved on Saturday but happened again on Sunday afternoon. 
EPS loop was solved by replacing a communication terminal; The MOV loop relates to a terminal seemed to be burned (redundancy was working) – this needs to be worked on Tuesday's ZZ. 
Limitation of 30 bunches came as communication was lost. Recovered after the work on Saturday and Sunday.
2. Broken bridges Karabo-Doocs went down on Friday evening: not caused a beam downtime but photon devices could not be seen at DOOCS. 
A Desy CPU at the injector building failed and Tim Wilksen intervene to restore the bridge and will follow-up.
3. SRA slits and Filter are locked now until the ZZ on Tuesday or the WMP.

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:

General Announcement:
- Two severe power glitches happened on the weekend (SAT and SUN around 7AM). We thank all colleagues that were in shift, OCD or volunteered to help assessing the situation and restoring their operation 
ability. 
- The presentation of the Winter Maintenance planning period is postponed due to time issues.
- Janusz S. reminds on cyber security: tomorrow the next step to secure Zimbra mail client takes place. A detailed e-mail will be sent.
- XO will create a report on the power issues.

CTRL:
- Issues with power glitch: restoring parameters, Karabo, SEPS, SA2 started from scratch.

DA:
- Nothing to report; end of chain regarding the power issues.

EEE:
- Same issues with power.
- Will follow up the SCS train ID.

VAC:
- No effect on VAC; no access to SA2 then it was blind / no Karabo, but at the end was fine.
- Issue with HED and MID Monochromator - to be investigated. Access is needed today.
XPD:
- As PRC Jan thanks all people who helped to restore SA and SUN (two power glitches around 7AM); Also Desy/MKK confirmed that machines were briefly affected. EuXFEL accelerator recovered quickly.
- Consequences on SAT: 1. Power went away of whole SA3 area; 2. Tunnels mostly not affected but water cooling pumps were switched OFF (affecting also balcony rooms). 
One auxiliary pump did not turned ON and several hours later (10-11AM this was too hot) and brought down services. SA2 tunnel cooling water temperature raised but on SUN it was faster to act/recover (MKK; 
30mins).
- XGM at XTD6 went down.
- MKK does not see the temperature but only humidity. To be implemented in the coming days.
- SA2 Karabo totally down.
- Interlocks went down (EEE, D3, SRP) and had to unblock radiation alarms. A Desy mTCA crate went down and had to be manually power cycled (due to cooling water lack at balcony room).
- PP-laser in SA3 went down. SA3 experiment at SCS was cancelled at the point.

DET:
- No specific feedback for DET; shall be OK.
- Broker pile up was not fully understood. SA2 was restarted and back to normal; MID restarted yesterday and will get in touch with them.

ITDM: 
- Cooling issue: discovered by alarm (Kimon who informed MKK); it needs a better procedure to inform MKK.
- After 30 mins called from MKK saying T was going down, but due to open doors.
- Steffen H. says a report has to be done with goal oriented to avoid this in future.

XRO:
- Looking into systems: in tunnels, if power is OFF then mean cooling shall be OFF. Cameras do not work remotely (connection to servers; only one is accessible).

LAS:
- SA3 is down: problems with main amplifier;
- Checking for damage after second power glitch.

UNSYS:
- All fine.

SPB:
- Nothing to report. User got data.

FXE:
- SA1 was also affected by power glitch (interlock crashed): had to be reset by D3; AIBS went to error and be reset by DOC.m
- Prevented continued with user (lost 6+4 hours of beamtime). User went well and collected data.
- On Saturday the AMPHOS laser broke down in FXE. SRP and Management took measure to bypass. Not sure if caused by electricity. To be followed up this week.

MID:
- Nothing to report. Request: in such severe power glitches an e-mail to MID has also to be sent.

HED:
- Could recover after SA2 Karabo broke down. Recovery faster than expected.
- Continued with user program. Data was successful.

SCS:
- Stopped running experiment. 
- Interlock problem with laser helped by Pouneh (thanks!).

SQS:
- Nothing to report.

SXP:
- Challenging communication. Manuel gave phone number to PRC and will give to XO.
- Power glitch: Desy colleagues do not have access to SXP hutches.

General Announcement:
- As PRC Jan G. reports that: 
1. ZZ access to XTD10 was planned and started around 9AM today to work on the exit slit. Plan is to finish by 12:30; 
2. Machine worked nicely during the weekend (only 1 downtime due to cryo OK for around 1 hour); 
3. on FRI afternoon MID close the pre-absorber and background signal was seen in the AGIPD - it was clarified by PRC and XRO that the pre-shutter does not provide a full stop for beam, just protecting 
electronics from intense beam.

CTRL:
- It has split the watchdog devices (imagers) to two servers and performance was seen to be stable.

DA:
- FXE mini-LPD issues during commissioning are being addressed.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:

XPD:
- Nothing to report.

DET:
- MID during the weekend reported issues with AGIPD data: two modules were missing. A DOC expert was on shift but further investigation is still needed; MID continued to work without the modules.

ITDM: 
- Issue with performance of online data storage at MID: if AGIPD is set in full speed mode during several hours the cache gets full and needs a break. 
This happened yesterday and by 6PM MID decided to stop for 3 hs until cache was emptied (reason for such long time was sample related; cache can be emptied faster). 
To be in safe side is better to stay with cache filled by 50%. A new system from IBM with double performance is ordered and shall be available during the summer.

XRO:
- ZZ is ongoing for the Exit slit.

LAS:
- Issues with the Sync in SA1 and SA2 which are addressed by Desy group LabSync; On THU and FRI instabilities were observed by LAS.

then implemented.

SQS:
- Beam will start with SQS and not with SXP on Tuesday.

SXP:
- Not taking beam tomorrow as the KB system arrives and needs to be brought to the hutch.

General Announcement:
- Tobias Clever informs on electrical works needed to connect XHO to electrical grid:
1. A new transformer will be connected to the new building on 03.April (a small chance of error can produce a minor power glitch as the ones frequently seen by Desy power glitches - usually this events 
have not affected us in the past 2 years. 
2. Second work on 11.04: test of auxiliary conditions that were installed in December; it will be connected for the first time and a chance that a power glitch could happen affecting more XFEL premises

- As PRC, F. Wolff-Fabris says operation during the weekend was not optimal: 
1. on Friday evening the A6 started to trip several times; we first decreased the gradient in the same fashion as done on Wednesday morning but it did not help; On Saturday the A6 was removed entirely from 
operation after lunch time. 
2. On Sunday 9PM a PLC for the Dump/TLD stopped work and experts from Desy came to exchange it. Beam was recovered around 1:30AM. 
- Today, Monday, machine is being changed to 16.3GeV. Currently we expect beam delivery to start tomorrow at 7AM.
- Martin Doering presents a summary of major tasks planned for the winter maintenance period regarding e.g. limited access to the campus; timing issues; IT systems; gas supplies; media maintenance; cooling 
water; elevator; etc...

General Announcement:
- Martin Doering informs on the winter maintenance period: XO will publish the final task list on next Friday. For next Monday a short presentation will be done in the XO Integration meeting.
- As PRC, F. Wolff-Fabris says many machine downtimes happened since yesterday afternoon due to the trip in one LLRF station, the A6. 
This early morning an intervention was done to reduce the gradient from 620MV to 530MV. Observation in coming hours will say if this has helped to suppress or decrease the ammount of trips.

CTRL:
- News on HED VAC loop6: interlock condition was flickering. Together with HED and EEE it was found the reason and update will be done soon.

DA:
- Calibration team: two weeks ago it was introduced a picture for automatic correction. MyMdc system is still showing bugs and permanent solution is being worked out.

General Announcement:
- Wajid E. reminds DOC is not working this week but the DRC will take the calls over the week and redirect to respective OCD inside DATA department.
- Olivier M. mentions to use drc-xfel@xfel.eu for contacting the DRCs. However, the fastest way to communicate for urgent matters is using the regular DOC/DRC phone number.
- Martin D. updates the status of winter maintenance period: 
1. MTLs are in general with lower quality as compared to previous maintenance time (e.g. starting and ending dates); 
2. Groups will be contacted back by XO and meetings with groups will be scheduled in the coming days. 
- A. Galler shows the TTFinfo/schedule to inform on the schedule for this Blue/FD week starting today.

CTRL:
- X-ray feedback device reported by MID: device did not provide feedback for beam position. A bug fix was applied and it worked. 
CTRL proposes to apply to all other location today. No objections from the instruments appear during this meeting - so it will take place today.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:
- XTD6 was opened today for work on the high resolution Mono. It will stay open at least today and tomorrow.

- A. Galler says that optical sync was lost during the weekend in all instruments. The RF sync was on 30fs RMS performance which could be used.
UNSYS:
- Request for access in SA3 was done (fixing PS motors in cell 20 and 21): mostly to be done tomorrow or Wednesday.

SPB:
- Nothing to report.

FXE:
- PP-laser sync problems (6x last week) with loosing timing. It put the PPODL device into Error state; it could be recovered automatically but the laser timing wasn't conserved. 
So in about half the events the laser timing changed by 2-5 ns. Ticket was placed.

MID:
- Thanks to VAC for borrowing He bottle.
- Problems with optical sync; otherwise all fine.

HED:
- Nothing major to report.

SCS:
- Issues with Optical sync: drop happening on the Desy side (which do not have OCD on the weekend). After loosing Sync it took long to recover synchronization. At total about 15hs of beamtime was lost.

- Question from Michael Meyer referring to hutch access today: as Interlock tests take place at 16:00, hutch access when closing the shutter has to be discussed with Safety / RPOs. 
- SA1 and SA2 beam recommissioning are done; except of the SEPS interlock tests.

LAS:
- SA2 PP-laser shall be ready to go;
- SA1 and SA3 PP-laser will be available at latest Tuesday next week. The 282kHz mode is now available for SA1. 

UNSYS:
- Air coils in SA3 cell 14 and cell20 had a problem and now it shall be solved after communicated between M. Yakopov and BKR.

SPB:
- Laser interlock issue was observed and solved.

FXE:
- Worked with D3 last week to recalibrate spare BTMs. Currently D3 had no spare parts and if the SA3 BTM would be triggered again it could stop North branch operation until a spare part would be available.
- There is an object in the beam path that can be seen: likely a cable belonging to the mono.

MID:
- All fine at MID.

HED:

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Continuing with support tasks to the groups.

VAC:
- Not present.

XPD:
- XGMD was fixed (ADC broken down twice last week): Desy people is also investigating; root cause not yet found.
- FEL Imager (YAG screen) in SA3 is found to be damaged. It was moved to a different spot for the time being.
- Ventilation in all tunnels caused beam jitter for 30-40 minutes yesterday. 
It was caused by outside humidity (not common, 2-3 times per year) that filled up the filters and clogged it with water droplets leading to overrunning of the regulation schemes of pumps; then pressure 
changed in tunnels.

DET:
- Nothing to report.

ITDM: 
- InfluxDB: large issues yesterday (cluster crashed on MON evening); it took all day yesterday to brought up and data is now visible also at Karabo. 
- ITDM has a root cause now and DAQ matrix devices were switched OFF yesterday which provides a fix. Last crash there was a lot of data that had to be synchronized and lacked resources. 
- ITDM found a way to start without data from Monday evening to Tuesday 21:00. This data will be injected to InfluxDB / cluster in the coming days. In the meanwhile, one needs to use Graphana to look at 
this data, not Karabo. 
- Discussing future measures to trigger alarm to avoid the crash. 
- Please don't start DAQ without the GO from ITDM via e-mail.

XRO:
- FXE jitter last week: not yet clear if it was the clean tent or the cooling water for M1/M2 the real cause; hard to find as cooling water was refilled and the clean tent was switched ON accidently, both 
in parallel.

LAS:
- Nothing to report.

UNSYS:
- Issue with mono in cell 18 / SA2 self-seeding: Encoder for the y-motor is found to be damaged. UNSYS tried to fix it during several hours ZZ but was unsuccessful. Encoder is damage for the y station. 
Later a solution with stepper without feedback (only image) was put in place and this managed to insert crystal in the proper position. 
- Probably re-writing software to switch from encoder to image feedback may be a solution. The full fix need to open the vacuum chamber. 
It is not sure if this action will take place during winter shutdown. This taks will be included in ME list and involves several groups.

SPB:
- Nothing to report.

General Announcement:
- An e-mail was sent to "xo-info" mailing list concerning the cooling water maintenance scheduled for one week starting on Dec. 6th. 
More information will be sent by the end of this week and if you have any concerns, please contact us at xo-planning@xfel.eu.

CTRL:
- Shimadzu camera at SPB to be followed up; Also, the pop-up motor at HED needs a feedback.
- Related to DRC: on Friday SQS was using the bunch patter server and the machine server was going back to zero pulses. Cause was another Karabo device at SCS topic which was working / forgotten and was 
setting bunches to zero. 
Important is that none was knowing this was running. Follow up with XO for new procedures.

DA:
- Nothing major to report.

EEE:
- PLC side: backlash 2 step compensation successfully tested.
- Cabling at FXE had some troubles and today there will be a recheck.

VAC:
- Friday incident with Interlock on SA3 (faulty gauge at GATT): reason is known and was communicated to the involved parts. Long term plan to mitigate is in place.

XPD:
- Involved at high energy tests in SA1 and SA2; SA1 worked well delivering beam at SPB; SA2 had 300uJ in XTD1 but a high intensity at HED was not achieved. On Sunday HED colleagues did some tests; 
Calorimeter did not see beam.
- Imagers YAG imagers could see the beam at the end of HED station. YAG is not too bad at these high energies (only factor 2x less). Diamond is not suitable as one needs to integrate lot of pulses to get 
signal.
- Upgrade on Imagers together with Andrea Parenti is already concluded, tested and shall be working fine. Some Karabo devices had to be restarted in SA1, SA2 and SA3. In case of issue, please contact 
Andrea Parenti.

DET:
- DSSC activities with DEPFET ladder measurements at SQS went well; happy with acquired data.

ITDM: 
- Nothing to report.

XRO:
- SA1 re-alignment of mirror was not immediately possible and therefore done in several attempts. Started from none position but went well at the end. 
- In SA2 re-alignment was not possible (settings of mirrors not ideal and therefore drop of beam intensity); In future a second attempt shall be made with the lessons learned. In SA1 went well.
- SA3 activities went well without problems.

LAS:
- From SQS high energy fluctuations were seen at PP-L and fixed after switching to another setting. 

UNSYS:
- Motor of monochromator of chicane 2 / SA2: remotely action did not recover it. Access is needed. Suren K. needs a 2-3 hours of access (realistic time) and there is no guarantee it will work.

SPB:
- Got beam at 24keV. 
- On Saturday a problem with camera Shimadzu not communicating to PLC was solved.
- Beam drift at downstream of SA1 (mm order) was seen.

FXE:
- Preparing for Users this week.
- Work with cabling ongoing.

MID:
- All fine.

HED:
- Having the 30keV beam and trying to align; Diffraction seen but could not say that the beam goes to the beam stop. Beam intensity too low for absorption edges.
- Preparing for Users this week.

SCS:
- Not present.

SQS:
- Nothing to report.

General Announcement:
-	 

CTRL:
- Next week CTRL will upgrade Beckhoff devices containing MC2 loops. This is done to avoid the PLC to crash. This is only Beckhoff devices and is for all tunnels and loops. This is a Karabo devices upgrade 
and not the PLCs. 
Naresh K. says systems are still needed on Monday morning. A. Galler tells that a ZZ will take place on Wednesday and this may be a better time for the update. XO and Valerii B. will discuss offline.

DA:
- Nothing particular; DOC and OCDs were quiet.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:
- Yesterday effect of the power glitch at 15:03. VAC-OCD checked with SCS - the interlock reacted and GATT stopped for a while.
- SCS comments that the problem with GATT gave 300x more photons than expected to the sample and detector. A better safety / interlock is to be prepared. 
Raul V. says that topic was first discussed in 2019 with SQS (using the B4C block in the interlock loop for the GATT). It may require interaction from SA3 instruments, VAC, XRO, CTRL.

XPD:
- Small confusion on the SA3 XGMs during the weekend: BKR mixed the SCS and SQS XGM's not working and this triggered a few reactions on the weekend. A better way to do not mix up XGMs will be made. 
Please look to the right device before informing experts on possible errors.

DET:
- PnCCD detector is brought back to operation.

ITDM: 
- Next week (not yet date) a follow up of the Gitlab update will take place. Mostly likely on Wednesday; details will come by e-mail.

General Announcement:
- There was another power glitch last night. It seems that accelerator was not affected. If XFEL groups find affected devices, please contact XO.
- From healthy task force the Covid-19 measures stay in place as they are.

CTRL:
- Nothing major to report.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Nothing to report.

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- Running at SA3 at the edge of the energy range (3keV is at limit of the undulator tables (K near 4)). Sara C. says that with higher electron beam energy this won't be a problem. 
In addition, the problem was with only few cells and Suren A. is in contact with BKR. Jan G. says that will get in touch with Suren A.
- HED reported problems with beam pointing being instable. XPD and XRO will take a look on it and include XO for the analysis.

action.

XRO:
- Nothing to report. Maurizio V. will follow the HED beam instability.

LAS:
- Affected by power glitch: all PP-lasers / AMPHOS went down and warmed. LAS would need a solution for power glitches, considering power backups, UPS or batteries, as the controllers for this type of the 
pump goes down. 
- Jan G. says that XPD has a bunch of unused UPS and could offer to LAS.

UNSYS:
- Problem with cell6#SA3 quad mover is solved. Coupler was exchanged and it works. UNSYS has more spare parts and is in touch with Beckhoff.
- Sara C. says P. Gessler informed Karen had problem when changing undulator energies. Suren A. could not find any issue with Doocs / Unsys side. 
Patrick G. talked to Olaf H. and firstly BKR must try to change energies and if it works, then instruments shall try. Karen A. says BKR could moved energy and had no issues - the issue was in HED side.

instantiate them initially.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Downgrading clocking and control firmware today after this meeting. For questions please talk to Bruno F.

VAC:
- Power glitch propagated to the tunnel (shortage of cooling water) but it did not affect VAC systems 
(update 10:30AM: GATT-SA3 injection of gas stopped due to the water shortage being above 5-10seconds but less than 30s, as pumps continue running - SCS could set it up again quickly). 
- GATT loop: Steffen H. and Raul V. are setting up update and please refrain to use it today.

XPD:
- Issue with XGM in SCS hutch: it got shock vented with N2 last week. Fortunately, high voltage was not ON. Turbo pumps have issues with controller; on Thursday and Sunday the pressure gauge dismounted. 
XPD is on contact with SCS on it. 
Remark: Theo M. is on holidays and for XGM issues please contact Jan G.
- A. Koch asks Steffen H. if the Lima/Bassler camera fixes uses only DAQ and not GUI. Steffen H. says this is correct and for Karabo 2.11 only. A. Koch will send a list of cameras to Steffen H. 

DET:
- Nothing to report. DET aware of clock control downgrade.

EEE:
- Small issue with FXE timing (strange behavior of RTMs). It happens when communication to main timing system is interrupted and it affects mainly the FXE PLCs. Result is that devices may not correct 
trigger.
- Cable installation currently ongoing in HED and scheduled at FXE (cw33). 

VAC:
- Last night status of critical pumps was checked and seems that there was not water interruptions (very first time for a power glitch). These pumps stay working normally during the night.

XPD:
- No issues to report due to the power glitch.

DET:
- Jungfrau activities at SPB were delayed because of beam delivery issues with the number of bunches.

ITDM: 
- Nothing to report, also regarding to the power glitch.

XRO:
- Not present.

LAS:
- Unaffected from the power glitch. PP-Lasers are working.

UNSYS:

- SA3/cell6 quad mover has a problem unrelated to the power glitch. As agreed with BKR, it stays as it is Monday when corrective actions to recover it will be made.

SPB:
- Beam delivery problems yesterday regarding the bunch number: A. Galler says that accordingly to W. Decking, when running in interleaved mode it may cause that problem if the suppressions does not work 
correctly. 
Further investigations are under way by MXL. If this is an issue for equipment BKR can install an interlock on the Big Brother and probably a detailed discussion with interleaved mode instruments can help 
in this direction.

FXE:
- Nothing to add.

MID:
- Looks like the beam today is very unstable. Data were collected and the stability task force will be contacted.

HED:
- Nothing to report.

SCS:
- Not present.

The part of the old data during the time it was down was written by Grafana and will be synchronized back to the cluster during this week (tests are needed).
- Following on Friday for the Influx third node that went down (not related to the previous incident): DOC was blind for a couple of hours. Investigation ongoing. It's not related to Grafana. 
Instruments were not affected.
- Reminder of reviewing and closing proposals for the second half of this year. Please look at the sent e-mail and make a cleanup. 

XRO:
- Not present.

LAS:
- All PP-lasers are running.

UNSYS:
- Issue with phase shifter in SA3 for the 3keV use: problem is that at 14 GeV the tables of phase shifters go to 25.3mm gap and this is in the upper limit for making 3 keV. 
Phase shifter tables will be extended to a larger gap. Better to use 3keV at higher electron energies.
- For the UOM's mention on the update of phase shifters on the chicanes, this has to be prioritized. XO will discuss with Sara C.

SPB:
- Minor issues with SPB imager being saturated. A. Koch adds that it will be followed up and he is aware and will analyze better.
- Organization limitation: RF discussion for last weekend. The BKR / Operators were not aware they would use 404 bunches and costed 2 hours.

EEE:

- Shutdown activities going well; "Wille" is short in people but scheduling adjustments with FXE and MID is organized.

- If there are short circuits or mal functions in the Beckhoff crates and current is not high enough to trigger the fuse it may be a fire risk. Solution is developed without impact in firmware, just a replacement of fuses. EEE starts today at SPB the changes; Based on this experience a plan will be made for the other systems and EEE will get in touch with groups.

VAC:

- try to get the works finished in the tunnels

- waiting for the Beckhoff crate works

XPD:

- Most of the tunnels works have been done; others are ongoing; No surprises are expected.

General Announcement:
-	

CTRL:
- Announcement: tomorrow starts Karabo deployment on FXE in SA1 as well as ITDM; Wednesday the MC2 upgrade for the rest of facility (already done in SA2) will take place.
- Device clone fix to be deployed today (e-mail sent to readiness).
- Two versions of ReadtheDocs exit (Old one will be OFF on the July 5th). If someone has an old project at the old version of ReadTheDocs please change to the new 
version.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Reminder that uTCA systems are under maintenance this week (interruptions planned in balcony rooms).
- EEE received report last Monday from SPB with issues on motor cables from Beckhoff controllers. Electrical current could go very high but not enough to trigger the 
fuses and consequently overheats and has a fire risk. 
EEE is looking implementations to take place this week in crates. Ordered parts shall arrive beginning of this week. 
It is a large intervention to introduce 1-2 fuses in the modules/terminals of all crates in tunnels and experimental Hall. 
- Steve A. adds that the changes are piece cases, each crate will be touched; if 50% of the crates are changed during this maintenance, one reduces 50% the chances for 
fire. 
P. Gessler comments that one has to limit the current of the 24V terminals, by introduction the additional fuse. All crates will be touched but it is a linear change.

VAC:
- Investigating the situation with motor terminals. A. Galler says tunnels will start being closed next Monday and will find the exact date for XTD6 and XTD9 closure.
- Shutdown work ongoing but no issues to report.

XPD:
- A. Koch, N. Kujala and W. Freund say there is nothing to report.

General Announcement:
- Zunaira A. says that on HED on Saturday there was the 2 hour break on the search mal-function. It was solved by manual restart done by Eric B. (origin was the DACHS 
issue) and we do not have an OCD for this matter - basically depends on the goodwill of people. 
Jan G. says that there is no OCD for what Eric B. and Dennis K. did. It would be nice to find a solution for such situations - if this happens during the weekend, this 
may have the end of an experiment. 
Zunaira A. asked Eric B. to file a non-conformity report to be shared with XO.
- There is no UOM meeting next Friday.

CTRL:
- Karabo updates on most of topics are performed yesterday. Few issues in SA3 and HED are under work today. Few open points:

Janusz S. and/or XO will send an e-mail to readiness for spotting eventual issues with this date.

XRO:
- Maintenance work is going well accordingly to the schedule.
- Karabo updates: Maurizio V. understands the gateway update just makes Karabo not usable and asks if it changes anything else. His concerns are with having time for 
check. 
Janusz S. says the operating system reboot only and Karabo installations are done before. Steffen H. says that today between 11:12:00 there is an update on the gatway 
already. 
No effects are expected for devices. New servers are to be installed and commissioned. Karabo updates are being done already and there is time for checks.

General Announcement:

  • Due to work restrictions, some of shutdown activities will not end as planned in time. This leads to a prolongation of the start-up phase starting next week. It means re-start of Accelerator and South branch will be delayed by 2-4 days while the North branch by about 1 week.
  • The first 2 weeks of X-Ray delivery (2.2-15.2) will most likely be affected and photon delivery cannot be guaranteed into all beam-lines at all days. Some flexibility in planning for the commissioning tasks is expected. A detailed schedule for an upcoming week will be available on the week before, latest on Friday.
  • Sara C. asks if tunnel access is allowed during this week. F. Wolff-Fabris understands tunnels still can be accessed this week apart of Covid regulations (in the context of tunnel maintenance tasks that have to be performed while tunnels are open). T. Tschentscher says the understanding is from Robert F. guidelines e-mail are still valid for this week and really important tasks may be conducted – an e-mail to Robert and Nicole pointing the task with the need of access could be sent. Steve A. reported from today’s Covid taskforce meeting that the regulations of last corona email are still valid - if there are any question send an email to health@xfel.eu.

CTRL:

General Announcement:

- Today is the last xo-integration meeting for this year. Xo wants to thank everyone for the participating in this meeting series while sharing information and giving updates.

- The next XO Int. Meeting will happen on 04 January.

CTRL:

- Beckhoff MC2 motor upgrades at SA3 is ongoing.

DA:

- no updates

EEE:

- all SA2 fast ADC tasks have been concluded.

- Cabling in HED is ongoing; On MID will happen next year.

- AIBS control at SA1 balcony room installation starts today.

- Testing Mc2 motor configurations in tunnel devices.

VAC:

- Trying to finish main shutdown tasks: GATT, new mirror chamber in SA3/SXP, SA2 M3 mirror chamber.

- M3 chamber InGa is clean and ready to be pumped down.

- XGM/SA1: broken gate will be replaced this week or next.

- Some members of VAC group are working on site next week.

XPD:

- XGM SA2/XTD6 was moved 4mm and is still in alignment (no damage found) -> Jan G and Harald S. will have a look today onsite. M. Dommach says the differential pump could not move that far away due to bellows. 

- Installing of switches for HRIX will be most likely finished this month and some maybe in January.

DET:

- nothing to report.

ITDM:

- nothing today.

XRO:

- Not present.

LAS:

- Laser Hutches are locked (no access allowed) by Safety and LAS members can not continue the work in laser rooms. LAS maintenance tasks can not be finished and may be delayed over the end of shutdown.

- Emission of SASE2 Seeder laser was put in OFF yesterday due to inspection by SLSO. This means laser was OFF and there is no guarantee the PP-laser will be available in February, as they will not start mode-locking again after an Emission OFF. 

- Typically the Seeder lifetime is 3-4 years. Each time it is switched OFF it shortens the lifetime by half. If Seeder is included in the Interlock system, and taking into account the interlock trips 1 time per week or month (case of SASE3), the availability of PP-lasers is in risk and consequently the whole operation for instruments.

- Alignment lasers will be no longer provided. This also relates to the safety decision - such lasers are not allowed to be operated.

UNSYS:

- not present.

SPB:

- nothing to report: quiet days.

FXE:

- Craning activities over the hutches due to SXP construction still ongoing: not always a notice from construction workers.

General Announcement:
- XO reminds on the 4.5MHz operation: MXL tested a 12hs switching mode and this will be used along the week. 
The night shift operates at 4.5 MHz and day shift at 2.25MHz to avoid sending unnecessary bunches to the dumps.

CTRL:
- Issues with MC2 motors (bug in moving, mainly in SA3). CTRL has a fix but it is hard to find a proper time slot this week to apply it. The idea is to deploy next Monday 
only in SA3 first. 
If issues are found beforehand, please contact CTRL.
- SQS mentions a bug in the mirror observed yesterday which relates to the above described issue. SQS has to observe it to verify it moves all the way and then one can 
wait until Monday for the fix.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Crate issue in SA2: it was not needed to exchange the crate. A reboot on Monday afternoon helped to bring system back. 
Crate works as normal. During winter shutdown EEE will replace crate and power modules.
- MID and LAS reported issues with train-ID / timing servers. Triggers have not been delivered in 10Hz. This is in discussion with DESY. 
One solution is an update of the DOOCS timing serves that do not show errors which does not interrupt timing servers. In MID this may be related to data recording. 
For the PP Laser further discuss with Desy colleagues will be made. This affects only MID because the use of old version of Doocs server. 
- MCP problems reported by XPD: mismatch on the firmware version and EEE plans to upgrade this week. 
- Preparation for the winter maintenance is ongoing and installations can start on 23/11.

VAC:
- VAC would like to thank EEE and CTRL for the SA3 loop vacuum fix.

XPD:
- XPD found another issue with MCP: wrong assigned triggers. A ticket will be created. 

DET:
- Update of MID AGIPD is still an issue but this is not critical at the moment.
- CTRL has accessed the LPD detector issue.

ITDM: 
- K. Wrona informs ITDM has the reservation of Maxwell for data analysis during next two weeks. 
The user groups have to be informed that one has to use Maxwell reservation to quick analyze data.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- SA1 SPB PP-laser had to increase energy and is on work.
- SA2 PP-laser missing trigger from around 7PM yesterday. Laser went OFF due to this and luckily LAS was watching it and was able to switch ON quickly. LAS is in touch 
with EEE and Desy. 
A fallback solution could be to generate triggers by hardware but there is no progress from Desy side. LAS will prepare specifications for this module.

UNSYS:
- Small hiccup in one SA2 undulator that was remotely corrected.

SPB:
- Trying to align beam: SPB sees elliptical rings. Andreas G. suggests if this continues please communicate to the PRC.

FXE:
- No further information on issues with the LPD.

MID:
- Tomorrow it takes place the AGIPD train-ID meeting.

HED:
- Vacuum valves in differential pumping system were strangely closed on Friday 2AM. HED discovered this only yesterday. Pressure slowly went up. HED will further 
investigate.

SCS:
- Not present.

SQS:
- 4.5MHz operation had gun trips due to the overheating of the dump. 
F. Wolff-Fabris comments that was due to the radiation alarms on the dumps that removed beam permission by about one hour around 4AM.

General Announcement:
- A. Galler reminds the attendance that this meeting is also an opportunity for making comments/questions on the new Covid-19 rules that start to take place.

CTRL:
- Main issue last days was related to the SA3 VAC PLC. The applied fix was left running during the weekend. So far it works faster and reacts faster for diagnostics. 
CTRL is getting some statistics in order to get the final solution. If something goes wrong, please call OCD.

- No OCD calls during the weekend.

DA:
- No issues or news.

EEE:
- uTCA crate of SA2 balcony room is not reachable. A quick fix on Friday was not successful and EEE needs to power cycle or replace the whole crate. 
This will interrupt timing for PP-laser and the signals sent to MPS. Meeting between EEE, lasers, instruments and XO will take place. 
- (Note after meeting: the power cycle of the actual crate will be done today after lunch. If this does not helps then immediately exchange of crate will be done 
afterwards. 
PP-laser will be brought to a safe state and takes about 4-5 hours to restart it).

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- Worked at BKR with MCP detectors. XPD reported to CTRL an issue with ADC - some channels see no signal or not standard ones.

- The Winter maintenance period was adjusted yesterday. The ending period is now on January 13th, 2021, instead of January 4th. 

CTRL:
- CTRL is reaching conclusions on recent Beckhoff problems: 
1. CTRL would like to upgrade most of installations in instruments next week (upgrade of motors software). This upgrade is in general a step forward for the PLC 
connections when it is dropped (re-starting). 
2. For SASE installations, CTRL will make next week during machine days. 
3. The GATT will not be upgraded now – this will start during Winter maintenance period. Upgrade of GATT is a priority for CTRL (has been added to the maintenance list 
submitted to XO). 

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Intervention in SA3 PP-laser was done.

VAC:
- No new issues to report. 
- Maintenance on SA3 vacuum loop: in case of problems, one has to restart in PLC level with EEE staff and may result a bit longer recovery. 
Steffen H. comments it has been worked on and may be solved in the next day or so. The restart procedure is easy but lengthy. CTRL/OCD knows what to do.

General Announcement:
- XO informs the Call for the Winter Maintenance tasks will be sent to the support groups and Instruments today. 
Please note it is not named "shutdown" anymore are critical services such as basic infrastructure must be maintained. At least in this round it will be called as "Winter 
Maintenance" to avoid confusion among the staff. 
The tasks list shall be sent to xo-planning@xfel.eu. 
- In case of need to go to tunnel via ZZ, please contact the PRC at 9-4800.
- Gerd W. informs on the SXP construction work that starts on Nov. 23rd. The plan aims for a minimal impact in SA3 area at XHEXP1. 
There will be new connections to the cooling water system in SA3and civil constructions. 
Cooling water will be cut from Nov. 23rd until Christmas. This means rack rooms and laser will be affected. 
- Gerd W. answers Raul V.: the cut cooling water supply does not involve tunnels. 
- Tommaso M. says instruments need to have permanent cooling water supply. 
Gerd W. states the electronics must be shut down and will not be able to re-start before Christmas as it takes time to empty the system, weld, do pressure tests and fill 
it up again. 
- XO suggests that SA3 instruments must coordinate closely with Gerd and also involve MB (Serguei M.).
- Nerea J. asks if this applies to SA3 balcony room also. Gerd W. says that the rack rooms will be affected. 
- Gerd informs there is a series of meetings taking place on Thursdays at 14:00 and this construction work can be addressed. The SCS and SQS group leaders have been 
invited to this series. 
If someone else wants to participate, please contact Gerd W. for getting the Zoom link, 
- Monica T. says that this lack of cooling water may impact the DSSC move to SQS by delaying its test.

CTRL:
- CTRL experiences some login hiccups related to information sent to InfluxDB. This will be fixed Sunday night (Monday at 02:00AM). There is no reason this issue will 
affect devices until the fix is done.

DA:
- Train-ID investigation for AGIPD offset is ongoing.  DA understands from now on DET is responsible for the leading efforts. 
- Monica T. comments it has been identified the issue related to the AGIPD firmware (2019 version, accordingly to Jolanta). This will require a significant change and to 
do it now is not an option. 
The good news is that this is a systematic issue and DET know how to take care of it.
- A. Galler asks the small task force on the train-ID to make a small presentation during next XO Integration Meeting. 

EEE:
- ADC in PP-laser (SA1) is confirmed to be solved.

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- Nothing to report.

DET:
- Issue with DSSC yesterday: one Interlock signal was permanently enabled. EEE solved after restarting the device. It will be further investigated. 
ITDM: 
- Desy/IT requested ITDM a time slot to fix redundant parts of the routers between "ours" and "accelerators". To do so Desy/IT and MXL suggests to apply the fix (do not 
expect side effects) today before lunch time. 
No relation to the timing system of lasers is expected (low risk). None in this meeting's audience raises an issue against the proposed time.  

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- All 3 PP-lasers are up. Currently LAS still make some studies and instruments must send a message in case the need of use. Lasers are ready to be provided to 
instruments.

UNSYS:
- A ZZ is currently ongoing to fix issues with failed couplers in SA3 control cabinets.
- Beckhoff replies the cause of failure is either an overload of current or relations to temperature. Temperature seems not to be the issue (accordingly to UNSYS).

XPD:
- It was observed problems with SA2/XGM spinning motor gauges.

DET:
- Nothing special: quiet week.

ITDM: 
- There is a problem with SASE2 online data storage. It happens data were not migrated from Schenefeld to Desy or it was very slow which in turn affected MID. Partially 
solved by making system live. 
- ITDM needs to diagnose the GPFS filesystem in SASE2 in order to understand the issues we experienced over the weekend. This may lead to some instabilities or even 
unavailability of the SASE2 online data storage. 
- XO suggests ITDM to coordinate separately with MID and HED.

XRO:

the PRC). 
No need for X-ray beam to the hutch.

SCS:
- No special issues to report.

SQS:
- Two weeks ago the monochromator was used. X-ray beam was twinkling and not reproducible. Seems to be connected to higher heat load when using 300 pulses. 
SQS says that this needs to be addressed when beam is back again.
Entry   Notes XO Integration Meeting 16.09.2020, posted by Frederik Wolff-Fabris on 16 Sep 2020, 10:20 
General Announcement:
- Yesterday evening a ZZ in XTD10 was planned but it turned unsuccessful due to no access in the turnstiles. D3 solve the problem in the middle of the night and since 
then ZZ is possible again.
- Eric Boyd mention on the SQS shutter: a XTD10 ZZ was planned for 8:30AM. He has currently no news so far.

CTRL:
- XGM Pulse pattern decoder issue is under investigation.

- Last Influx training will be next Friday An e-mail to participants will be sent. 

DA:
- No issues to be reported.

EEE:
- SA1/ Solid Attenuator Interlock problems: EEE is investigating and news will follow. FXE found an issue within the motion loop last night and XRO also helps. 
It is the Interlock on the attenuator itself and not in the EPS.

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- XGM signals were monitored when SA1 went to 5keV for a short time yesterday night. No issues were observed.

DET:
- SCS made an OCD call on the DSSC which has been fixed.
- Agipd issue: under investigation together with ITDM (a ticket was opened to ITDM). This is not a calibration issue. 

ITDM: 
- ITDM will follow on the Maxwell issue with Agipd. 
- CTRL and ITDM working and progressing on the bunch patter issue.

XRO:
- Issue with SA1 solid attenuator: same behavior can be expected also in SA2.
- Mirror inspection in XTD2: it shows no big damage on it. A full service will be made later. Next Monday inspection on XTD10 mirror to understand situation.
- Meeting to investigate possible upgrades to drive motors faster will take place. Participation of CTRL, DA and instruments.

LAS:
- Nothing to report.

UNSYS:
- Suren K. informs Beckhoff Hardware for cell#31/SA2 was received and is under test. As soon UNSYS is ready for a ZZ it will inform PRCs for scheduling a date. 
Mostly likely ZZs will occur on Tuesday and not Monday due to continuation of 11.5 GeV studies. 
- Communication problem with one undulator on Monday was quickly fixed.

SPB:
- Working on nano KB mirrors.
- 5 keV last night: gives right trajectory. It looks like the beam performance was sufficient for SPB alignment. Fine tuning has to come.

FXE:
- Affected by the shutter problem during the tentative ZZ access yesterday.
- Solid Attenuator issue in discussion with EEE.
- Sampling rate of ADC has changed. Peter Z. contacted EEE and it has been accessed.

MID:
- Not present.

HED:
- User experiment ongoing.
- Some stages worked intermittently and has to be investigated (related to crystal alignments).
- Pulse picker is not behaving correctly. It may be a Hardware issue and has to be investigated. Then HED will communicate to EEE.

SCS:
- PP laser was down last night and the OCD was contacted. There is the suspicion the crystal is damaged and the OCD informed it will be fixed this morning. 
Daniel Kane will try to get some info inside LAS and report back t SCS.

SQS:
- It has users this week and shutter becomes a serious issue. In Karabo the shutter state changed but it is disconnected. It is not clear if the ZZ team is progressing 
right now.
- Problem is that when trying to close the shutter via JDDD interface it went to an intermediate state but shutter did not close. 
This cause interlock not opening the hutch and the beam could not be sent to the hutch. No beam since 5PM yesterday. Also locally operated in the panel it does not work. 
The JDDD interface worked nicely the whole last week. Eric Boyd asks if problem appeared at the first operation. Tommaso M. says they did a lot of times prior having this 
issue.
- Waiting for updates from CTRL mentioned.
Entry   Notes XO Integration Meeting 14.09.2020, posted by Frederik Wolff-Fabris on 14 Sep 2020, 15:34 
General Announcement:
- None.

CTRL:
- CTRL will deploy an update on time server configurations for SA1 and SA3. Bunch time decoders will be down during few minutes.

XPD:
- XGM in SA3 shows not accurate number of trains per pulse. First pulses of a train were missing. It will be followed up with CTRL and SQS.
- There is an agreement in how to enable the 5keV operation. Instruments shall be aware of ahead planning when changing photon energies (band region of resonances which 
requires exchange of gases). 
In general SA1 and SA3 instruments are aware.

DET:
- Working on calibration issues.
- Problem from SCS with Karabo device going in unknown mode has been under investigation.

ITDM: 
- Comment to DET: it has been understood issue with Maxwell nodes last week - jobs running and certain nodes were in bad state. It was a particularity of the 
configuration. This affected the calibration. 
- Bunch pattern issue: we were communicated around 2AM on an issue that data recording was not the same as the scene. ITDM asks for communication of major issues must be 
done in earlier times when experts are around. 
XO will talk with CTRL and ITDM, as well as SQS.
- exfelgateway and Karabo installation: we will move today the installation. Link will redirect to the next location. No changes in how to start Karabo GUIs.

- Minor issues with components motors: when pressed step up /step down in the motor, the Karabo interpret that we pressed twice. It is not critical but annoying. Issues 
are related to MC2 motors. 
CTRL will get in touch with EEE in an offline discussion. Issue has a different nature compared to the HED problems with motors.
- Tests on Monochromator show energy drifts. For long range scans one has to correct manually the calibration. FXE will report to CTRL today or tomorrow.
- Friday beam instability due to horizontal jitter: FXE took some data and will communicate. 

MID:
- Number of bunch train issue was also observed.
- Train IDs going to AGIPB are correct and verified.

HED:

- Yesterday morning machine had tuned beam to SCS photon energies. Somewhere this has been lost and SCS and BKR had to do it again on the afternoon. PRC will investigate 
with RCs.
- Smaller issue: For 2x already there is an issue with pulses that DSSC send to online read (sometimes we get only 8 pulses). 
DA states it is related to the calibration pipeline when this is reset (default is 8). 
One has to change/correct manually in the config manager. DET asks SCS to place a ticket for the support. 
SCS plans to use DSSC for user experiment this week. It is not critical issue but it would be nice to fixed for once.

SQS:
- Preparing for user's time on next week. SQS has commissioned the Monochromator with grating for the first time.

- Nothing else severe to report.

DA:
- Working with HED on recording data - ongoing today.
- K. Wrona states that should be treated as experimental issue. An offline discussion will take place in defining how to interpret and run in the proper way.

EEE:
- The implementation of SA3 pre-absorber into the Interlock system was done, tested and it is working.
- 

VAC:
- Systems are running well.

XPD:
- Graphite filter in SA1: SPB has checked and found out the graphite filter is not damaged. The crack related to an attenuator. 
XPD will find an agreement/compromise for operation at higher energies when filter is retracted due to the wave-front distortions for the hard X-ray in SA1 and SA2. 
XPD needs more info from instruments. Discussion will follow.
- XGM resonances: a clarification is made that no matter which gas it is there is a resonance. Exchanging gases requires XPD to make an intervention for about 1 hour.
This has to be taken into account when, e.g. SCS and SQS require such changes.

DET:
- Nothing to report.

ITDM: 
- Nothing to report.

XRO:
- The Karabo GUI for SA3 is redesigned due to the presence of the pre-absorber. XRO will be happy in hearing comments and suggestions.

LAS:
- All Laser working accordingly to the specifications.

UNSYS:
- All is fine.

SPB:
- Operation going fine.
- Timing team found 2 issues: 1. Pulse pattern recording device seems not be synchronized with train IDs of other devices; 
2. Bunch arrival timing monitor has 25% repeated data (they have the same time stamp but different train IDs). 
K. Wrona says this may indicate there is no data. Robert Schaffer states the bunch arrival had no changes, so it seems to be another issue.

FXE:
- Starting user experiment and all going fine; pump probe signal seems good and FXE thanks LAS for fixing it yesterday; Digitizer issue was resolved by CTRL yesterday.
- Bunch arrival monitor is also repeated showing same numbers for the different trains.

MID:
- All fine.

HED:
- DAQ tests ongoing.
- The Shot on demand for laser stopped working at 3:00AM today (BBP signals). It seems to be a PPU problem. Nerea J. will contact T. Preston to look into it.
- Trying to get the A0 monitor working. After restart uTCA it solved one out of 2 problems. HED need someone to look into it onsite at the instrument.

SCS:
- Issue with pop-in imager last night: not allowing interlock. It has been under work now and is a similar issue as the SQS pop-in last week. This time it is the SCS-
XTD10 Pop-In IMG-PI (type I).
- Reducing SA3 bunches number were affecting SA1.

SQS:
- Nothing to report. All good so far.

between XPD and SPB/SFX.

DET:
- 1 OCD call which was easily solved.

ITDM: 
- Friday the Scratch system (for temporary data) was out of space and data were removed (70Tb). It may be a problem again and ITDM would like to remind people to keep 
data only for short time. 
There is 1.5 Petabytes storage with currently only 60Terabytes free space.
- An e-mail about this issue was sent to a distribution list stating that from 01/09 data will be removed. ITDM asks people to clean their data in the proposals 
directories. 

XRO:
- Preparing for ZZ accesses in XTD2 and in XTD10.

LAS:
- SA1 laser is temporarily fixed with stable operation during the weekend. It required changes in software. This PP-laser is working and further exchanges are postponed. 
- LAS reminds that OCD calls regarding timing synchronization between laser pattern and beam must be addressed with CTRL OCDs.
- Jan G. offers assistance with 5Hz operation on diagnostic cameras. A. Galler suggests to include also EEE and CTRL in discussions.

UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.

SPB:
- Graphite issue: inserted on Tuesday for 15 keV and was in the beam for 4 days until Saturday. J. Gruenert says this is not wrong. An e-log entry was done by Romain 
Letrun.
- 1MHz images in camera worked during the weekend.

FXE:
- Issues: 1. Electron bunch arrival monitor recording did not work; 2. When SASE3 changes to many bunches, then FXE sees decreased intensity; 3. PP-laser seems not 
suitable for our operation. 
- For #1, ITDM will have a look in it; For #2, this will be discussed with machine; For #3, further discussions will happen in separate meeting.

MID:
- No issues: Split delay line is under commissioning. It was quite successful week.

HED:
- Successful week.
- The shot on demand feature was tested with EEE and CTRL.

SCS:
- Issue with saving sample position.

SQS:
- SA1 and SA3 interactions: FXE suffers when we have many pulses. M. Meyer proposes to have discussion with machine. 
A. Galler proposes to discuss during the machine meeting at 10AM and asks for additional info per e-mail.

General Announcement:
- A. Galler reminds the audience on the daily informal BKR chat taking place at 15:00: link was sent by e-mail. 

CTRL:
- Tests on the HED bunch patter / 5Hz were done yesterday;
- Five devices related to the timing server will be re-started on Monday. This update of timing server shall be transparent.
- Other requests will be discussed separated in another rounds with respective involved groups.
- For Laser switch between SCS/SQS please call LAS OCD for troubleshooting (experts mean faster solutions). 

DA:
- DA reminds the group on its Redmine ticketing system that was implemented in February and helps on the planning and scheduling of activities. Instruments are encouraged 
to use the DA ticket system.

EEE:
- Initial test with HED 5 Hz pulse on demand went successfully yesterday.
- Missing crate in HED will be installed.
- SCS installation of cables will be done. 
- The special trigger for overlapping bunch in SQS was fixed this morning. CTRL was asked to prepare another parameter in Karabo. 
This shall be OK and tomorrow it shall be fine to use the adjusting the timing. S. Hauf points a device has to be adjusted. 
- A. Galler informs the tentative date for the SEPS update will be next Monday. 

VAC:
- ZZ done on Monday to check status of SA3 devices.

XPD:
- X-ray PES undergoing tests at Petra-III / Desy.
- A SQS pop-in could not be driven out of the limit switch this night. This was solved in the morning (back to work) and it was related to a problem with motor counts. 

DET:
- Preparation for user run at SQS: still some data to be taken with DSSC but it has been under work.

ITDM: 
- Together with CTRL and DA, it was set dedicated server for logging in to get more insight in the experiment. 
- In the main page of user proposal there is a permanent Zoom link to be used for communication with users. It stays for 2 weeks: SQS is working and other two experiments 
will be set today.
- In addition each experiment will have a dedicated zoom room.

XRO:
- SA1 M1 continues stay in place. By the other side, XRO would like to ask for a ZZ to complete the chiller level.
- Interlock tests in SA3 did not happened (changing of Interlock from GATT to pre-shutter) Z. Ansari informs that from her side it can take place on Monday 24th.

LAS:
- SA1 laser: the front-end is switching off in regular base (3x since Monday). There is not enough power for experiment. 
Meeting with manufacture take place today at 10 to build strategy to investigate and decide next steps. LAS will inform next steps. 
PP-laser is expected to be working for this and coming weeks. 
- SA3 Amphos: it can be operated. A final fix will be done in the in next blue weeks or during winter shutdown. 
- SA2 laser is fine.

UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.

SPB:
- Working on CRL alignment and also testing of camera.

- Meeting with DET today. 
- All are going fine.
Entry   Notes XO Integration Meeting 17.08.2020, posted by Andreas Galler on 14 Aug 2020, 10:40 
General Announcement:
- An informal Run coordinators' BKR chat to exchange ideas happens every day at 15:00. 
It is a forum in case technical and scientific people wish to make formal requests. XO will send an e-mail with Zoom link.
- XO would like to ask instruments to pay attention to the parameters of the Delivery and Operators table, especially regarding the bunch limits for the North branch.
Ideally we shall discuss one week before beam delivery.
- H. Sinn notices that if SPB move some motors, this is temporarily cutting SA3 beam due to MPS. SQS has not observed this effect. Harald will further investigate. 
Adrian M. says SCS impacts SPB in different ways.
- A. Galler mentions that SRP/task force will distribute updates related to the currently raising Covid issues.

CTRL:
- One group of motors at the same SCS/PLC was not accepting changes. A re-start with servers in small loops must help.
- Timing servers (switching off archive): CTRL wants to perform today or tomorrow morning the installation of the new version. Nobody seems against it.

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- EEE understand the team request regarding the 5 Hz trigger will be done tomorrow.
- EEE waits for confirmation of SEPS update, possibly happening today or tomorrow. XO mentions Z. Ansari will be able to confirm today after lunch time.

VAC:
- Nothing to report.

XPD:
- Not present.

DET:
- XO inquires on the DSSC activities in SCS: DET says it may be delayed a bit due to other activities; DET got a ticket regarding operation; DA believes the DSSC was 
running and used.

ITDM: 
- Comment on DSSC: it was used but we shall not forget that on the first day there was not a preparation and we could expect hiccups.
- A faulty memory module must be replaced and the exflgateway will be shut down shortly for this activity at around 12:00. An e-mail will be sent but nobody seems against 
to it. 

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- SA3 AMPHOS photodiodes still has problems. System is partially working and can be operated. LAS knows beam size and pointing do not change but not if loses power. 
AMPHOS is contacted. 
The consequence is that switching ON and OFF takes more time because it is done manually. Further measurements will be done and SA 3 instruments will be updated 
accordingly.
- LAS informs its OCD team is not responsible for synchronization issues. 
- SA1 and SA2 lasers are fine.

UNSYS:
- Small issues with SA3 PLC crashes: SA3 is operated without first cells. A re-start of the servers is needed, probably today or tomorrow. UNSYS will inform SCS and SQS 
when this is fixed. 

SPB:
- Nothing to report.

FXE:
- FXE says that SQS will need to perform some tests: this will be discussed in separate round.

MID:
- All fine.

HED:
- Data recording on Saturday night was not saved. Shift crew realized at the end of the shift that it was not saved - main data for the shift. 
- ITDM investigated the issue after ticket arrived yesterday. It confirms data was not recorded and can't see why this happens as ticket arrived late. Even the folder of 
the data was not recorded. 
For the future: there is an assumption to look at the data every few minutes. ITDM will share procedures. Further discussions on flexibility for different systems/setups 
have to be done.
- HED says the 5Hz test must be tomorrow by the morning. XO states that currently this is only a test then we will see what happens. HED has this understanding.
- HED has recorded several hundreds of microns in horizontal jitter. XRO says that it is important to work together for investigating the jitter. 
HED will send the data to XRO and/or the coordinator of stability task force.

SCS:
- Not present.

SQS:
- Preparing next week user operation; still some problems with Zoom connection: SQS and ITDM will discuss the issue.
Entry   Notes XO Integration Meeting 12.08.2020, posted by Frederik Wolff-Fabris on 12 Aug 2020, 10:52 
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. 

XRO:
- Not present - group has helped with solid attenuators activities.

LAS:
- Everything is running and interlock is set.

UNSYS:
- Nothing to report.

SPB:
- Detector program ongoing with Junfgrau and AGIPD.

FXE:
- 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.

SQS:
- Nothing to report.
  
Entry   Notes XO Integration Meeting 10.08.2020, posted by Frederik Wolff-Fabris on 11 Aug 2020, 11:01 
General Announcement:
- Beam delivery starts this week. XO reminds the reason to send the Beam Delivery table is to provide machine with parameters. Please take in mind that we shall not fill 
out tables during Friday's UOM. 

CTRL:
- Two configurations changes planned for today if agreed: 
1. In SA3 machine changes the 10Hz and may affect the archiving. This means time serving in Karabo has to be changed during the day today; 
2. CTRL updated last week most of Karabo devices in instruments, but few tunnel instruments remain and shall be done today - few time down and then re-starts.
- HED issues with VAC/SA3 have been investigated together with EEE.
- InfluxDB update was done and OK.
- LAS comments a laser pattern is required in order to compare laser status between different runs. Follow-up discussion with beamlines, LAS, CTRL is needed.
- AG asks if SA2 and SA3 are aware of the 5Hz operation mode. Tomasz from LAS says all servers see the bits are changing. 
- Steffen concludes that CTRL will proceed with updates today and by next Monday CTRL will switch on the archive again with the solution we will have by then. 

DA:
- Nothing to report.

EEE:
- Taking out crate of MID; making changes on the request of HED.

VAC:
- Nothing to report - all running.

XPD:
- Nothing to report.

DET:
- Not present.

ITDM: 
- DAQ recent bugs were mostly fixed: today FXE and HED will be fixed. Afterwards all are done.

XRO:
- Nothing to report.

LAS:
- SA3 laser had a probably on Saturday: warming up devices. LAS may be able to fix today (Sunday's effort did not work).

UNSYS:
- Issues in SA2 with cells #1 and #33 have been fixed by ZZ on last Wednesday.
- Also hardware problem in SA3 cell#14 was also fixed.
- Software development in response to MXL complaints is under work and needs a maintenance and/or shutdown time. 

SPB:
- Nothing to report.

FXE:
- Meeting with EEE to look in the digitizer - issue could be solved, it is now running stably.
- Used Beam feedback to stablish the beam position was not working reliably: spontaneous jumps were observed. FXE will look together with CTRL on Wednesday. 
One idea is to pick beam position from imager. No other instruments have this observation.

MID:
- Synchro will arrive today and thus SA2 laser will not be available.
- Train matching offset between AGIPD and XGM reported two weeks ago: MID is asking for an update. SA will check today and give information on Wednesday.

HED:
- HED had problems with MC2 axis in Beckhoff motors during last week and asks to have a follow up from EEE. Events of losing parameters are happening quite often.
- Karen A. mentions they added manually parameters and they had to reset again. HED-LOOP1 will not be reset today (Steffen). SA2 loops will have to be checked. 
- Steffen and Marijan add the issue is now understood by sacrificing one of the HED PLCs. One has to fix the code of the framework and this can't be solved by Wednesday.  

SCS:
- Motors of the DSSC support were also lost. They have been fixed.
- Issue with pump is also solved.
- New installed devices during shutdown (pressure gauges) were tested on Friday.

SQS:
- Not present.

Entry   Notes XO Integration Meeting 20.07.2020, posted by Frederik Wolff-Fabris on 20 Jul 2020, 14:18 
General Announcement:
- Regarding Operation, VAC and PRC had a workaround to restore the North branch beam permission on Sunday. 
- XTD9 Turnstiles were not working this morning for ZZ access planned by FXE. 
During the meeting we heard the information that Michael Prollius / SRP has fixed it by rebooting the computer. 

CTRL:
- Since Wednesday CTRL had one OCD call regarding the SA3/GATT gauges and controller configuration.
- SQS server - issues with interactions. Work ongoing.
- INFLUX roll out: test on CAS monitor topic is successful. For the double loggers, there will be an impact of 5-10 minutes down time when login. 
This will happen on FXE (2x10min without data): it is OK for FXE and for LAS today. IF that is successful, CTRL will contact other instruments.

DA:
- Nothing to report

EEE:
- It has been working on the follow-up of HED topics.
- EEE OCD had a call on the SA3/GATT gauge controller.

VAC:
- Severe trouble with SA3 GATT: damage on the gauge controllers was a result of series of problems.
- Bearing of a downstream booster pump make vibration and developed two leaks; then pressure went bad; 
vacuum gauges showed wrong numbers and resulting in electronic damage in the controller cards.
- The booster pump was exchanged on Friday; on Sunday a leak test found a broken vacuum welding and part was removed. 
Currently ZM3 at Desy is fixing it. Expected to be ready for tunnel installation by 10AM.
- Sunday from 13:00: the GATT was in UHV mode to allow beam permission and lasing in SA1 and SA3 up to Monday 6AM.
- Currently XTD10 is open for GATT repair and PES exchange of turbo pump.
- CTRL mailing service worked quite well: an alarm e-mail of GATT fault was sent every 12 hours.

XPD:
- SA3/XGM valve was also OFF on Friday. Martin Dommach will contact Theo while in tunnel.

DET:
- Business as usual.

ITDM: 
- Nothing to report.

XRO:
- Not present due to the night shift for beamline transport alignment activities.
- F. Wolff-Fabris informs the pre-shutters are commissioned by XRO during Sunday's shift.

LAS:
- Nothing to report

UNSYS: 
- Nothing to report

SPB:
- Work is ongoing.

FXE:
- Preparing for beam operation: no big problems.
- Thursday we reported issues with motors not moving. EEE helped and it was found the current of the motors were not correctly migrated. 
Now motors are working. Currents were set too low - this no risk of damage.

MID:
- Preparing for beam.

HED:
- Preparing and checking equipment.

SCS:
- Preparing for beam tomorrow.
- FFT end station problems reported last week are solved.

SQS:
- Waiting for the beam.

General Announcement:
- SASE3 tuning will start this afternoon and possibly will last until Thursday afternoon. SCS and SQS will share the closures of their hutches.

CTRL:
- Swap server of one of the two Karabo GUI servers for SA1 (mail to readiness): suggestion is to do Friday 9-10AM. Please let CTRL know in case you have any issue.
- Status on INFLUX roll-out: testing to take place at the end of this week. A coordination with SA1 has to take place due to the running macros. 

DA:
- Not present.

EEE:
- EEE is working in FXE and HED with the open issues.
- EEE gives an update of the discussed points on Monday:
   Communication: From now on EEE will include the contact persons, as well as to the instrument mailing list.
   SA1 motors in OFF state: after a PLC update the safest configuration for re-start is bringing them back in OFF state. EEE will continue with this procedure. 
If instruments want differently, please make a list of devices that has to be changed.
   HED issue: EEE is talking with Konstantin and found it was just a misconfiguration.
   HED pump controller: Konstantin is already working together with VAC;
   XPD turbo pump in SA3: no relation with PLC update. Yesterday's ZZ showed that the pump has to be replaced.
- Nerea and Patrick will provide a write up to ensure the problems are followed up and solved.

VAC:
- ZZ yesterday to install the Neon gas minican to allow the monochromator calibration in SCS/cw31.
- Exchange of PES turbo pump will take one day and break the interlock - North brunch will see no electrons and photons. 
A date has to be found in agreement with involved groups and facility's operation.

XPD:
- Turbo pump in PES: pump itself is the problem. Vacuum beamline is safe but PES does not operate. We need the PES for some user experiments still in 2020. 
- Operation of beam in XTD6 was not possible with multi-bunch due to devices in the beam. We do not know if in reality they were in beam or not. 
Karen Appel confirms the devices were out of beam. This has to be followed up.
- This weekend, together with XRO, XPD will do the further recommissioning of beamlines and diagnostics. 

DET:
- Vacuum issue reported on last Monday was confirmed to be related to the gauge.
- Started with DAQ tests with instruments. All ongoing.

- EEE/Bernard is finishing the loops.
- Monochromator commissioning next days (we need a ZZ to align the camera).

MID:
- It is scheduled MID DAQ test for Monday next week.

HED:
- Ulf will investigate with Konstantin on the EEE issues. In XTD6 there were two motors with wrong parameters configurations. HED will communicate directly with Nerea.

SCS:
- EEE is needed to solve issue with the FFT end station.

SQS:
- Not present.

Please send us an e-mail to xo@xfel.eu in case of any issue.

- Details on the Interlock Tests: 
1. D3/SRP has the responsibility to carry on the tests; 
2. TS and XO (communication) are supporting groups; 
3. There is no rehearsal date; 
4. Tests on the Instruments/SASE wll take place on July 1st, 2nd and 3rd (reserve date); 
5. Access to the instruments and optics hutches is forbidden; 
6. Access to the laser rooms are not restricted, apart from the HED laser which needs clarification; 
7. Emergency off will be disabled on July 1st at 08:00AM. As soon as the emergency offs are tested, they can be enabled again; 
8. The participating EuXFEL Radiation Protection Officer can inform the instruments as soon as tests are ready with the respective SASEs for resuming access and work.

- Maurizio V. and Nerea J. mention that an EPS check must be scheduled prior beam delivery. XO will check with Zunaira/SRP on its status.
- Suren K. points the PKG in SA3 undulators is still switched off. TS shall switch it on prior tunnel closure.
- Suren K. asks on tunnel access for next weekend. XO states tunnels will be put in Interlock tomorrow (June 25th) and shall remain interlocked until the next shutdown.
Access to XTD6, XTD9 and (maybe) XTD10 can be done for few days after the interlock tests. Access to all other tunnels must be via ZZ. 
Tunnels will not be open for the weekend. (after the meeting DESY/MXL confirms this procedure).  

CTRL:
- Nothing to report.

General Announcement:

- Q&A session with SRP/Tobias Haas:
1. External companies have to provide self-assessment to show they have measures in place that comply with EuXFEL regulations on safety related to Covid-19. 
The EuXFEL online training is installed at the gate house and the companies have to make the Covid-19 training. EuXFEL groups have to inform the external companies.
Slides of the training will be provided to the groups for being send to the external companies.
2. One has to observe the maximum occupancy of each room and follow the EuXFEL training. If you stick to the max occupancy, you can work without masks in case minimal
distance is respected - otherwise mask is mandatory. For control hutches we admit only 2 persons. 
3. SRP finds a good idea and encourages instruments to implement additional measures for the hutches that e.g. cover use of tools, computers and/or disinfection 
procedures. 
Nevertheless, such extra local rules must not overrule the EuXFEL rules covered in the training. 
Extra regulations shall be printed and make available at doors, for example. Responsible for rooms and and hutches or local staff must make sure these additional
regulations are explained and followed. 
4. EuXFEL will not provide PPE to external companies.
5. Tobias will check with MB if EuXFEL has to provide PPE to DESY employees. In principle, EuXFEL applies the same rules as DESY.  
6. There is currently no decision on which rules apply to external visitors regarding the summer shutdown. We assume initially they will not be able to come. 
SRP encourages groups to send questions to health@xfel.eu and the Covid-19 task force will discuss the matter.  
7. There is no decision yet if the FFP-2 masks will be disposed after use or treated for re-use. Initially EuXFEL assume they will be disposed. 
It is yet unclear how long time a mask can be used before loosing efficiency. The slides presented at staff meetings contain suggestions in how to use the masks.

- General: There is no current issues to be discussed today regarding the tunnel access and related work;

- General: No issues have been pointed on the control network activities scheduled for next week. 
XPD must send to CTRL information on when a test of a shutter valve of gas supply will take place (still to be defined) in order to test the notification service.

Relaxation control network: 
- CTRL and XO remind the groups to submit the planned activities on e.g. scenes, projects, until Fridays. 
- For next week case: please limit any hardware change. Reason is the current limitation on the physical presence of staff. 
Groups will support only emergency and priority tasks. From May 4th the situation will be different. 
- However, we do not want to stop any progress on activities. This also includes work on Karabo that affects critical work like VAC in tunnels.

Tunnel access for the coming weeks:
- A scheduling plan will be made due to the restrictions of allowed people working on tunnel at the same time. 
Plan will be made in order to respect safety rules and minimize number of people working in tunnels. 
- Tunnel access will be a first agenda point from next week.

General:
- For next meetings, we will continue with the small report from the support and instrument groups.
- Tasks to happen in the hutches are decided by the groups. XO/PMO plan tasks in tunnels.
- We encourage groups to start as earlier as May 4th the tasks which were originally planned to be conducted during the summer shutdown. 
If it needs tunnel access, then one must respect the coming schedule.
- XO is looking together with Desy on all tunnel activities. A schedule is being prepared and will be communicated to the groups as soon as possible. 
- In case of delay of activities due to e.g. excess of people in tunnel, prioritization will be made together with XO and Desy.

Currently EuXFEL enforces a hand-off policy for instrument/tunnel hardware. That includes remote control of motors, pumps, etc.. as well as changing config files. If and when this policy is lifted will be communicated during Dispatch and Technical Integration Meetings. Please also don't hesitate and contact XO in case of any questions.

SW-HH-AL-DL-07 (office network distribution layer) switch was stuck at booting, came back after power cycling. Some (not all) office switches were not available because of this, seemingly the failover between AL and DL didn't work. Both this switch and the (permanently available) ...DL-08 were correctly cabled to separate PDUs.
Second fuse in BR38 rack 7 was out and had to be pushed back in manually (made power redundant again).

 

SA1 tunnel:

exflcon08n0 restarted at 4am, but apparently switch in the tunnel was off till 10:30 and since that time the server was accessible

General

  • Still recovering from the power loss occured on Saturday (The primary line was affected). In the hall the power was down for about 30 minutes, while in the tunnels it seems it was only a glitch.
  • It is clear that it was a major system failure. Optimization of procedures and responsibility will be discussed within the DOD.

FXE

  • Issues with the acquisition of images fromt he Jungfrau detector with the last version of Karabo. DET to follow it up offline.
  • There are concerns about the replacement of the simple motor with the MC2 library, in particular about whether all functionalities will still be available (e.g. step-up/down). According to EEE this should be okay. CAS has already release the new library for testing. ==> will be done in thw WS for FXE, later for th tunnels and the other instruments.
  • Remote control of the radiation shutter dows not work. IP of the new computer is needed. Will be solved offline between FXE, CAS and ITDM.

SPB/SFX

  • Hexapods are being integrated. ==> This was rescheduled due to the issues with hexapods at HED and MID. Currently, there is no dire need to integrate the SPB/SFX hexapod, it can be run from TwinCAT. ==> postponed.

SCS

  • Support from EEE is needed to make sure motors needed for the user experiments in 2 weeks are actually working (e.g. Elmo).

  • High power laser being aligned to bring beam into the HED experiment enclosure. ==> It was not possible to bring the laser into the hutch apparently because of some communication problems with safety. 
  • Mirror s could not be aligned for HED during the WE because of a crash of the MOV loop. This was due to a NaN delivered to the plc instead of a motor position. This problem has been fixed with the last loop update, which was not implemented in the XTD6 MOV loop yet. It will be discussed with EEE, MDommach and L.Samoylova whether to perform the update now.

On Monday Torsten Schoen informed AV that the power went off in MID and HED experiment hutch because of the radiation interlock test. This was due to the fact that according to the original plan (circulated and approved at the beginning of May), the SASE1 test was supposed to happen on Monday and the SASE2 test the day after. On monday, SASE1 system was accordingly bridged to avoid issues with the power. A last minute change in the plan was agreed between MID and MPS but the info unfortunately did not reach Torsten, hence the issue. Also, nobody from SRP, D3, HED was timely informed. 

There was obviously a lack of communication that has to be improved. AV will write a report and circulate it to the involved people for review and provide it to the MB.

Entry   running jdd panels in control rooms, posted by ITDM Admin on 01 Apr 2019, 10:29 

​​​​​On all PCs in the control rooms including BKR and also on the exflgateway there is a new version of jddd installed which is working with openjdk-11.
It is worth to mention that the old javaws from old oracle java 8 is deprecated and it is not recommended running jddd panels using old way, like
javaws jddd-run.jnlp

The recommended way, is to run it on the control PC (if you are in the control room), you don't need to login to exflgateway and start it there anymore, although this is also possible.

To start a svn repository selection window just run
jddd-run

To start a panel of a given name from http repository just type for instance
jddd-run -http XFELMainTaskbar.xml

To start a panel from svn repository just type for instance
jddd-run -file XFELMainTaskbar.xml

Regarding the recent announcements from doocs/jddd people about running jddd application I post here a short summary:
- running jddd with oracle java 8 via java webstart will be no longer possible as of 10.07.19
- on all control PCs in the instruments control rooms, BKR and exflgateway the new jddd was already in use since March, as described in the previous entry
- today the jddd was updated to version 2.12.10-2, which includes openjdk-12 (control PCs will be automatically updated during night)

On Windows 10 you can install Jddd using Software Shop (Netinstall).

Best,

​HED

  • Due to missing endswitches / interlock conditions, some YAG-screens have been burnt. HED would like to try to get this fixed in the tunnels and the hutches still in this shutdown by installing endswitches etc., to be negotiated with EEE ==> Software limit switches can be implemented already next week if the definitions are delivered to EEE by the end of this week.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Detector group is working on the fastCCD. ==> Today the cooling rod will be installed.

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. ==> MS is doing some test today to see whether the tunnel solution could be implemented in a provisional way.
  • Fa. Schulz did not manage to pull all the MID EXP cables by Tue afternoon as requested. Fine tuning of whoch cables are needed to start the loop commissioning and whoch ones can be postponed has to be done and driven by EET/MID (M. Flade/JHallman) ==> Being finalized.
  • On Monday afternoon (17:00) a power cut caused by works on the SASE emergency power off caused the PLC to be switched off and additioanl efforts to bring them on again. This intervention was not known to MID and not planned in the winter schutdown list of activities. Technical Services is/will be reminded that proper communication is needed.==> Other unexpected power cuts due to MPS works both on Monday and today. The communication has to be improved (via SRP). In addition, also an automatic chain of communicaton has to be set up (TS?) to notify relevant peopole when the power is down.

HED

  • Loop 2 needed for commissioning. ==> Commissioning starts tomorrow.
  • Tomorrow the commisisoning of the monochromator in the tunnel and CRL in the optics hutch will start. ==> Mono 1 and 2 commissiong is ongoing.
  • hires mono water connections will be reworked in March.

 

OPT Lasers

  • In SASE3 commisioning isd ongoing and there are no concerns about having the laser ready in July
  • In SASE2 commissioning of the seeder started.
  • Issue with the door is being discussed with TS. ==> Door being fixed. Then the commissioning can start.

XRO

 

  • In SASE3 additional safety shutters issue: Hardware will be ready by middle of Feb. On the 24 and 25. the installation and the modification of the EPS loop should take place if D3, SRP agree on the change request proposed by HS and MD. AE is involved and has allocated resources. It is not clear to whoch extent CAS is involved. This should be clarified, also for proper CAS resourced allocation. ==> No feedback received but CAS is not involved a lot (mainly AE).
  • For this friday SRP schedule a test of the GATT. SQS/SCS informed and part of the activity. ==> Successful.
  • During the installation of mirrors for SASE3 with InGa an issue occured. While pumping down (slowly) foam was generated and it required baking of the system to be able to pump it and bring it to ion pumps vacuum level. Tests are needed to finalize the proper procedure. In general, all the instruments dealing with mirrors should contact XRO (M.Vannoni) for proper venting and pumping down of the system to avoid surprises.
