time
changes
WCM
Roger L
WCM in general tested: working properly, new scopes are working
- some modification in labview code still to be done
- connection with tape-sequencer to get timing for transition-mode
- action item: new calibration factors need to be set (with beam!)
9:15-10:30
Y
ARTUS
Rob, Angelika, Kerry
test modified tune ADO (frev calculation) -- done
test for reflected pulse:
- unlock PS for measurements (done)
10:00-11:00
Y
DQmin
Joanne
take out PLL, Schottky was not updating, no scans done (not done)
10:00-11:00
Y
transition monitor (button pickup)
Mike Blasko, Angelika, Roger L
scope installed, connected to eathernet, data up-load time: approx. 2.5 min.
action items:
- locate hybrids, install
- finish cabling, matching, trigger cables (done)
- OR box for blue/yellow triggers (done)
- ADO design (pet page), for day 1: labview: labview exists, manager software needs to be done
- run analysis code on scope (likely after beam)
10:00-11:00
Y
BPMs
Todd, Al
new manager software
- manager software not yet tested
10:30-12:00
Y
AtR Nick T., Woody ... new AtR manager was not ready for testing last time, testing was done with old manager, lattice matched to existing Au8 lattice. To do:
- check new magnet manager (any old Au file is sufficient)
- automation of emittance measurements from AGS & AtR still going on
10:00-11:30
Y
Schottky
Kevin
small software changes still ongoing, no updates seen in DQmin
1:30-2:30
Y
collimators
Angelika, Wenge
action items:
- fix skew plane ADO home function (done)
- fix one motion driver (done)
- dedicated GPM for backgrounds (done)
- one limit switch flaky (done)
- start from tape-sequencer (done)
- fix mechanical problem in one vertical collimator (in progress)
1:30-3:30
Y
gap cleaner
Angelika, Wenge
10 Hz duty cycle tested, operational
action item: some small software changes in application to be done (make 10 Hz operational)
1:30-3:30
Y
Jump Watch
Christoph
done
1:30-2:30
done
LISA
Ted, Angelika
action items: cross section calculation
3:30-4:30
Y


DAY 2

changes/
status
Ramping Systems & online model
Al, Steve, Nikolay, Todd
orbitcalc: new library (version V2)
feature: calculate tune shift from sextupoles after correction
opticalc: new version V2
implemented: b* matching, offline model interface (SXF)
to be done: new sextupole scheme
- test sextupole polarity check script
9:15-12:00

BBQ, feedback, transition monitor,
BTF
Pete C, Al, Carl, ... to do:
- Brho correction on the ramp
- test of new tape sequences which make TF setup automatic
      * turning off ARTUS and IPM
      * automatically starting loggers
      * automatically correcting tune, coupling at the last stone
- test of TF abort tape sequences
- confirming that wfg manager sets quad, skew quad wfgs into proper mode for TF
- ramp with simultaneous TF and chromaticity measurement (new radius modulating script)
- test of feed forward application
- test of BBQ ramp FFTs, display in MCR etc. (ADO?)
9:15-4:30

bunch-by-bunch lumi monitoring
Dan, Angelika
check out application
- timing in of signals, hardware check still needs to be done with Hank from STAR and with beam!
10:00-10:30
Y
e-detectors
SY, ...
check out, test monitors etc. 11:00-12:00
