  20   Wed Aug 6 10:32:56 2025 Ronic ChicheFixedinfosoftwareThomX iglooComputer Windows update

as our computer is not only on the local network but is also connected to the internet, I did an update this morning.

=> computer restart and remote connexion are OK.

  19   Wed Jun 25 18:22:34 2025 Ronic ChicheFixedinfosoftwareThomX iglooChanging Icepap parameters

for P4z, the nominal current has been set to 0.5A several weeks ago.
and today, I set it to 0.3A, like P1z, because sometime I observed a too strong steering.

from this client, use the command: /usr/local/icepapcms/icepapcms

it will launch the Icepap interface.

for Mot.03 (CFP_µVMP20_P4z) : locator icepap-B28 => icepap-B28 => CFP_µVMP20_P4z

for Mot.06 (CFP_µVMP20_P1z) : locator icepap-B17 => icepap-B6 => CFP_µVMP20_P1z

in the "Motor" tab, one can change the nominal current (presently 0.3A for P1z and 0.7A for P4z)

you need to click on "Send config to board" AND on "validate config" to validate your changes.

then motor is set to "OFF", you have to set it "ON"

Atk panel for changing the phase of the CFP / 500MHz RF frequencies is in :

Jive => "devices" => ER/CA/RAC.05-API.A01 => Phase CFP 500MHz

Atk panel for reading the pico-ampermeter i1-i4 :

Jive => "devices" => XLI/OP/TMD.01 => ITM to change the integration time when the pico-ampermeter is saturated.

Atk panel for following the rotation of the tomographic table:

Jive => "devices" => XLH/OP/OTA.01-RTomo => Position gives the present rotation angle.

  13   Wed Feb 19 12:44:10 2025 Ronic ChicheFixedissuecabling | softwareThomX iglooCEM issue impacting the communication with Smaract laser motors and Alphanov laser amplifier

this morning, we saw that the injection kicker produces some CEM issues on all the machine and also on the USB communication with the PC.

in that case, one needs to reset the USB communication.

one can either restart the PC (which is quite long to restart all the softwares) or just unplug and replug the corresponding USB connector on the PC.

on the picture,
- the top USB (blue) cable is for the PicolLog temperature probe measurements.
- the middle USB cable is for the Smaract laser motor controller
- the bottom USB cable is for the Alphanov laser amplifier controller

  12   Mon Feb 17 11:55:12 2025 Ronic ChicheUnder ProcessreportsoftwareThomX iglooPossible automatisation process

I found a way in Labview Signal Express to record some measurement values of a signals into a file :

"Ajouter un étape" => "charger/enregistrer des signaux" => "signaux analogiques" => "enregistrer au format ASCII/LVM"
and then, one selects any signal available (signals or defined measurements)

presently, the file embbed only the last mean measurement of the laser PZT.
this file could be used to share data with other tools which could be use to correct the motor position in the ATK panel as a first step for automatisation process.

for example, I wrote an Octave code which is able to display this mean value every seconds.

the IP laser shutter receive a permit from both the MPS and the PSS.

if the MPS permit is not granted (RED), one needs to check if the jive panel is not blocking it.

go to :

JIVE -> server -> PCLDO -> B17DO1 -> PLCDO -> ER/HF/RAC.17-API.DO1

the panel shows several bits to command several devices.

one needs to check the box corresponding to the line "Cmd Shutter FP"
(be careful with the other line !!!)

then, the MPS permit should be granted (GREEN)

Description of the present remote control of the FP-cavity instruments:

  • In the control room, one can access any thomX computer using this account:
    login : operateur.thomx
    pwd  : thomX202
     
  • once logged on the computer,
    go to the "internet" section of the softwares
    and launch the Remote Deskop Control software
    look at the "1st window" image file to enter the remote control parameters
     
  • once connected to the remote computer (192.168.229.29)
    look at the "2nd window" image file to enter the account information:
    login: $jehanno
    pwd: ThomX2345
    domain: pc-thomx2
     
  • once logged to the remote computer,
    you can check the instruments connected to the local network : 192.168.1.1 - 255 by using the IP scanner on the desktop.
    see the "instruments" image to have the full list of IP adresses:

  5   Mon Jun 19 17:38:47 2023 Manar AmerFixedreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | softwareThomX iglooFP cavity Remote Control

The control of ThomX Fabry Perrot cavity is done through the remote access of the PC placed inside the casemate using "Remote Desktop"

We can access each parameter using its own software:

Cavity Mirror Motors       :  ThomX software  

Oscillator motors & CFP :  SmarACT motors using Priecession Tool command (PTC)

Lase Lock                       :  Kangoo software

power meter                   :  gentec view

Oscilliscope                    :  LabVIEW signal express

 

 

  4   Wed Sep 21 17:24:37 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfosoftwareOptical roomOscilloscopes control room panel

today with Philippe Gauron and Olivier Neuveu, we tested the control room TANGO panel for the oscilloscopes.
the ThomX IP addresses of the scopes will be : 192.168.229.27 and 192.168.229.28

this panel allow ONLY to read a measurement of the amplitude of the channels 1, 2 and 3 (laser power, cavity transmission and reflection) of the oscilloscope.
this is just a monitoring panel.

at the TANGO panel start, each channel of the scope is initialized : DC coupling, 1Mohms, 100mV/div, 20MHz BW, -4 Div position, 0V offset
and the acquisition setup is : 100 ms/div, 1000 points
and an amplitude measurement is done for each channel

if one needs to remotely control the scopes, one can install NI Labview SignalExpress TektroniX Edition which allow a full remote control/reading of the scope from a local PC.
use the menu Add Step -> Tektronix -> Acquire Signals -> Tek DPO/MSO 4000  to lauch the scope panel in SignalExpress.

one has to stop the TANGO server of the scope panel before using SignalExpress
and vice-versa, one has to stop SignalExpress running and untick the "SignalExpress controls instrument" to let the TANGO panel access the scope.

  3   Wed Sep 21 16:16:15 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfosoftwareOptical roomLaseLock control room Panel

today, with Philippe Gauron and Olivier Neuveu, we tested the remote control of the LaseLock.

the laselock device has the ThomX IP address : 192.168.229.154
and the ThomX network name : laselock1.thomx.fr

- In TANGO, one has to launch the ATK-PANEL
the panel has ONLY the status ON/OFF of the two regulation channels A & B
one cannot control anything nor even start the regulation ! it is just a monitoring panel.

- In a local Computer, one has to use Lantronix DeviceInstaller and CPR_manager to make the COM port setup.
(one has to translate the IP connection to a COM connection for the PC).
after the connection setup is done, one has to use the TEM Kangoo software to remotely control the Laselock.
(one can control all the LaseLock parameters with TEM Kangoo).

the Laselock CANNOT be connected to 2 different controllers (for example TANGO in control room or a local PC) !
one has to switch off the device server in TANGO or the COM connection on the local PC before being able to connect any other controller.

  2   Fri Oct 29 12:57:40 2021 Manar AmerFixedreportvacuum | software | utilitiesThomX iglooValves of the mirror chambers

Vacuum group: The electronics and air pressure to control the valves is connected to the control room.

They can be opened using  a software in the control room named "Jiva" (it controls all the components in ThomX)

steps to operate :

** Note: all related to optical cavity named "OC"

  • open the software on the desktop named "Jiva"
  • window opens where you will find Tabs named "server" and "device" 
    • "server" to search by type of connection, choose  (Vacuum Valve) shows all valves, choose "AVAL.01" and "AVAL.02"
    •  or "device" to search by component, choose (OC)  
  • another window specifically for each connection is opened
    • from options choose "open"
  • Green (open)  - orange (in transition state) - red (closed)

 

***** The valves are open but Bruno mentioned to maintain the pressure in the connection area between the chamber he closed it and when we start experiment we call him, and he will open it ************
