Review list of open issues
Convener:
Didier Voulot
Energy axis should be displayed in the screen panel for SRM and SCR in dispersive sections (https://tracker.psi.ch/jira/browse/SFELOPS-27). The online model PVs exist in principle. One should check that all the PVs exist and have correct data and talk with S. Ebner/a. Gobbo for the implementation. A summer student of Rasmus will do a similar project. This can maybe be reused for operation.
The format of data files (hdf5) should be standardised and improved. For example images should be stored as n-dimensional arrays indexed with x and y coordinates, index of image in the image set, optionally index of some scan parameters. The screen/camera name should be included in the filename. The PV names should be systematically included in the file. Some configuration data (machine settings, cam version) should be saved with the data. Nicole will organise a meeting with HLA group, Thomas, Rasmus and operation to find some common standards/conventions.
The laser and chicane settings should be added to the snapshot file. Some readback values may be added too. Thought it is not clear what readbacks to add. In principle tracking changes of settings and readbacks in the machine should be the job of the archiver.
The daily laser routine should soon be ready. A link will be added in the launcher. This will be initially the responsibility of the master operator to ensure it is done every morning and to train operators on shift to do it.
Dedicated operator training will be organised. Nicole will prepare some modules each with a specific goal - such as get the beam to the gun spectrometer and check the gun phase or record an image of the beam in some specific position and setting – with the aim of getting acquainted with the machine and controls. This can be done during shifts (night weekends) or in dedicated operation shifts (slots of 2h should be sufficient).
A meeting will take place this afternoon with Pavle to review the status of photonics (and optics?) panels.
