Discussion Items

  • Collect walk-ins
  • Notes review
  • Debrief of the MECU meetup
  • Upcoming technical integration meetings
    • Alignment process (potential) (per Jessica Jimenez )
      • This discussion probably will happen beyond controls to start, with us just keeping up with it, and then we'll derive what it means for controls requirements. So really we should keep ourselves in the loop so we can continue to weigh in on what is really possible with what we have in our architectures already. 
    • Shot Executive Discussion with MECU Stakeholders  
    • Laser Timing Systems

      • Our original sketch of how timing would be distributed (simple ttl triggers) needs to be revisited, extensively. Given what we saw yesterday with regards to the LLE timing system I suspect we’ll either replace it wholesale with SLAC TPRs or we’ll need another solution.
      • Put this ball in Mikael's court, would be nice to have a concept for the timing system design throughout both lasers for target practice (throwing darts).
       
  • AHJ update (ESH CH8)
    • Will be working with Ji to get this meeting set up and going.
  • Control system requirements
  • Rackspace allocations
    • LLE racks
      • Complete rack system built at LLE then shipped to SLAC
      • Should discuss machine mounting some of the control system components (local controls)
      • All controls racks are planned to be down on the floor for now
    • LLNL
      • Complete rack system built at LLNL then shipped to SLAC
      • Will have some racks on the floor and some upstairs in the mezz
      • Working on defining a standard set of AC power types and total wattage per rack
    • SLAC
      • Planning to put most of our controls racks upstairs in the mezz with some elements sprinkled throughout the TAX and TAO (in properly shielded enclosures)
      • Asking for a mixture of full depth racks plus some shallower depth racks
    • General environmental concerns need to be addressed
      • Vibration
      • EMI
      • We need to dig around for any specifications we may have to help define these requirements
  • SLAC supported device list
  • ICD Update

Action items

  • Alex Wallace Jana B. Thayer DAQ seminar, how the daq works, how it can be used, maybe also something from Murali Shankar about the elog as well, include some of our stakeholders.
  • AD, how ACR operates the machine using high-level applications (Matlab and Python), Alex Wallace ping Greg White, et al for someone to talk to the collective about it.
  • Need a floor plan with all our racks highlighted, maybe colored to show which lab racks are where, also a total across the whole facility.
