of the 20Hz oscillation.

- we switched OFF the laser Smaract

  368   Wed Oct 9 09:56:21 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processinfolasers and optics | softwareThomX iglooOptimizing lock parameters for stable X-ray productionThis morning, I wanted to test quickly
if the Smaract motors can be used in open
loop instead of closed loop or in piezo scan.

I got 80kW in the FPC for 33% amplifier ratio
after CEP tuning (Smaract CH2 ~ -423.5µm)
  
  375   Wed Oct 23 12:23:10 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processinfolasers and optics | softwareThomX iglooOptimizing lock parameters for stable X-ray productionthis morning, I did some walking procedure
