Wed, 25 Jun 2025 18:22:34 +0200

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.

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.

channel 2 is used specifically for triggering the RF lock with the FP-cavity.

first, it reads the channel 1 phase and then write the channel 2 phase with an offset (relatively to ch1) corresponding to the correct bucket.

use a Terminal Emulator and lauch the command :

Ronic Chiche, Fixed, issue, cabling | software, ThomX igloo, CEM issue impacting the communication with Smaract laser motors and Alphanov laser amplifier

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 12:44:10 +0100

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

Ronic Chiche, Under Process, report, software, ThomX igloo, Possible automatisation process

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 11:55:12 +0100

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.

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 11:08:41 +0100

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)

one needs first to launch the relative AtkPanel to follow the displacement.
then, the script is located in /data/shared/commissioning_scripts/Xray_CFP/scan_table => it launches the Spyder Python editor.
