General Announcement:
- The Winter Maintenance Task list will be sent to all groups in the course of today. Next Wednesday 04.10 Martin Doering will make a quick presentation on the list itself and take questions.
Two minor upgrades are done on it: 1. Location places are not divided in up to 3 sub-sections/levels; 2. Services needed and blocked are now condensed in two columns with color code related to the chosen
service.
The deadline for submission is October 20th.
CTRL:
- Nothing to report.
DA:
- No relevant updates.

General Announcement:
- Steffen H. sent an e-mail to instruments scientists informing for a meeting on functional controls to the instruments: Please contact back Steffen H. for participation.
- A. Galler reminds that September 30th is the deadline to submit the winter maintenance period task list. For questions please contact Martin Doering.
- As PRC, Jan G. reports that machine worked nicely without issues last week.
One issue in photon side was the malfunction of a mirror feedback in SA2 (issues that sometimes it suddenly stops after many hours of working); Another was a small SCS vacuum issue was reported and solved.
CTRL:
- Nothing to report.
DA:
- On the HED time with problems with files two weeks ago: work is in progress.
EEE:
- EEE-OCD received a call during weekend regarding SCS XRD chamber: EEE will get in touch with SCS today to investigate the issue.
VAC:
- Nothing to report.
XPD:
- Nothing to report.
DET:
- Nothing to report.
ITDM:
- GPFS issue with SA2: data migration not functioning. It was solved but the expert will further investigation taking place today.
- On the HED files issue: looking into data analysis and will set up accordingly for this week.
XRO:
- SA2 Mirror is properly working, the issue with feedback at SA2 seems to be with software.
LAS:
- Not present.
UNSYS:
- Issue with cell6/SA3: problem with bad connectivity. It is needed to have an access request today to fix the Ethercat card.
SPB:
- Preparing for this week experiment.
FXE:
- Observed the crosstalk when SA3 changes number of pulses when running in interleaved.
MID:
- Feedback mirror issue on Saturday; it was fixed on Sunday. Wajid E. comments it needs beam to further investigate; may be triggered by the Imager.
CTRL will discuss offline with MID (it needs beam to further test). Jan G. points an e-log entry was done documenting the issue.
- GPFS issue happening.
- Continuously had to re-start the AGIPD pipeline (used as monitoring). P. Schmidt says that a fix may exist and additional investigation has to take place; mostly related to the wrong train-IDs.
Jolanta A.-D. says it it is a similar problem already known at SCS and it has to filter the train in the analysis. DET and EEE shall further investigate.
HED:
- Starting tomorrow with compensation to the beamtime from 2 weeks ago (collecting into the proposal that is still open).
- Change setup on Thursday for next user starting on Friday.
SCS:
- Jan T.-D. asks on the ZZ access for the soft X-ray Mono: Raul V. is organizing together with Natalia G.
SQS:
- Continuing installation of spectrometer together with Swedish colleagues. |

Andreas Galler | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 26.08.2024 |
General Announcement:
- Today Monday 26.08 the beam delivery will be interrupted from 13:30 to 18:30 due to the SRI visit at EuXFEL. These hours are compensated by extending the beam delivery on Tuesday from 7:00AM up to 12:00.
As DRC, Wajid E. informs the DOC shifts are extended to cover the period of delivery on Tuesday morning.
CTRL:
- nothing major
DA:
- nothing

- nothing
XRO:
- SA1 limited to 30 bunches at times
- M# Piezo was malfunctioning --> Piezo swapped via ZZ
LAS:
- SA1 service still going
- PP LAS down still being investigated
UNSYS:
- last week successful operation of APPLE-X in circular polarization
- config issue in cell 25 in SA3 had been fixed
SPB:
- AGIPD Chiller --> detector got warmed up on Sat morning. -->
FXE:
- nothing to report
- M3 Piezo did not impact
MID:
- nothing to report
HED:
- nothing
SCS:
- all fine
SQS:
- last week circular polirazation
SXP:
- Laser INterlock issue --> fixed within 30 min

Frederik Wolff-Fabris | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 26.08.2020 |
General Announcement:
- XO is looking forward to receive today the Delivery and Operator tables from the instruments.
CTRL:
- CTRL has carried out the time server deployment with newest version for devices and upper channels.
- 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. |

Arvid Gebhardt | General | Information | Notes XO Integration Meeting 26.07.2021 |
General Announcement:
- Power glitch 3 times at night, what brought down the beam for 1,5 hour each time. Please report to XO if you find devices affected.
CTRL:
- Datalogger update to take place today between 16:00-17:00. Please inform CTRL in case of problems with this schedule.
- Aravis camera and bunch pattern decoder to be updated at around 14:30. Please inform CTRL in case of problems with this schedule.
DA:
- OCD side: no new problems.
- Follow up last Wednesday: better is to use the new Karabo with the fix and not to downgrade the Karabo version.
EEE:
- Ticket from SCS was solved.
VAC:
- Some trouble with the pumps in the gas attenuator SA3. It needs to be fixed today in the tunnel with a ZZ (30 mins).
ME.
- Not present.
XPD:
- Are investigating, if something is affected by the power glitch. So far nothing was found.
DET:
- Nothing to report.
ITDM:
- Two issues to follow with MID: 1. Bassler camera seems to be the data wrongly recorded at DQA. Tests need to be done; it’s a camera used for feedback. Ulrike B. will talk offline with K. Wrona.
- Second issue: on Friday there was one ADC from tunnels to be used from MID was requested a bit late. Data comes from the uTCA from Desy network. If this device is going to be used in full, it has to be set inside Desy network.
XRO:
- Not present.
LAS:
- Two incidents: the power glitch at 19:23 yesterday took Amphos in SA1 down. It is back and operational; In SA3 LAS is further investigating the Amphos.
UNSYS:
- No problem with the power glitch.
- The temperature in SA3 Undulators is stable.

FXE:
- Not present.
MID:
- All good at MID – not heard on affected systems due to the power glitch.
- Friday afternoon confusion with the fix of Extra Foam bridge. Probably DA is aware.
HED:
- Vacuum system ok after power glitches.
- Nothing to report.
SCS:
- Not present.
SQS:
- Not affected by the power glitch. |
