ECS would like to take a moment to emphasize the importance of EEIP at LCLS and SLAC in general and remind anyone reading this newsletter to look into what EEIP is, and how to make sure your equipment is compliant. You can learn more about EEIP here: https://slacspace.slac.stanford.edu/sites/pcd2/eeip/default.aspx

Roles and Team update
L2HE Project Roles and assignment table can be found here.
MEC-U update
Rack allocations
We spent some time doing rough estimates of rackspace for MECU, here are some of the figures we developed for your consideration. These don't include the other partner labs in the count, their estimates are elsewhere. Other systems outside of this count include Safety (PPS/BCS/HPS/LSS), Timing and IT infrastructure.

XES Controls team continues making progress, advancing instruments’ designs, and ramping up efforts with higher involvement level from instrument’s leads. The goal for the remainder of FY22 will be to refresh the overall cost estimate as recommended by the committee, while at the same time remaining committed to advancing the design maturity of all Accelerator control systems to Preliminary Design Review (60%) level.

Other controls requirements
More controls requirements were developed in March and April. These requirements were specifically focused on CA network size, DAQ bandwidth, EPICS archiver size and reliability, as well as the logging systems. High-level requirements are being developed as ConOps are updated/ generated. If there is any particularly important requirement of the control system, high-level functionality please let Alex Wallace or Jing Yin know.
LLE+LLNL Onsite Visit
The Rochester and Livermore team came to SLAC on March 22nd and 23rd to learn more about MEC operations and collaborate in person on the project. This was the first time all three partner labs met in person to work on MEC-U. The controls breakout session reviewed the operations and the high-level supervisory control software of the Omega laser facility. We also learned more details about the mechatronics, industrial and timing system controls of the LLE system.
Hutch Python Update
Hutch python's conda environment was updated to pcds-5.3.1 near the start of April.
