Schedule:

• FEE Commissioning: December 1st?
• TMO first light (easier): Jan. 24, 2023
  • KPP:  MUST have ability to read out the piranha line camera on FZP and ability to read out two HSD channels on MBES but only if GMD/XGMD measurement doesn't work; could also be an opal
• RIX first light (harder): ~March 2023
• LCLS-II KPP test with soft-x-ray in the hxr line in txi (March/April)  they may need a wave8 or a hsd or a (controls?) camera to see the signal? (phil heimann is coordinating) - air attenuation tests; 3 keV
• KPP measurements on hard x-ray line in the FEE (may only need power meter, or slow signal that gets fed back to ACR)

General to do

• recabling to srcf (cpo+ric+others)
  
  • use data volume to each node to figure out cabling
  • what should go through the bos? exclude opals? 
  • what should use MPO (Nov 1 checkpoint for laser locker/XPP; switch on Nov 16; revert by Nov 18 if unsuccessful) including BLD, IOC, FIM, XTCAV, Mono Enc TPR (we can switch daq timing independently of controls timing)
  • IOC depends on Kukhee's software
  • high rate BLD depends on Dawood's software
  • Jeremy Mock writes about XTCAV: "Hi Chris, we can test the camera triggering soon, probably in October some time.  However, I think XTCAV proper (the klystron) won't run on lcls2 timing until sometime next year.  I think I heard maybe February...?".  Pat Krejick is coordinating the change.
• 33kHz BLD: ebeam, gmd, test asap. waiting for software development (depends on Dawood)
  • test reception of 33kHz gmd without beam ASAP working with Marcio
• commission s3df (but keep old system going too)
• psana1 (mikhail) psana2 (mikhail, mona)
• smalldata code (silke)
• movers (wilko)
• mon-node mount of calibdir via weka-nfs (IT)
• ARP (murali, wilko)
• jupyter/ondemand (wilko)
(done) LCLS group permissions syncing (wilko)
• finalize high-priority analysis mechanism
• migrate ctl nodes (move hsd processes onto daq-tmo-hsd-01 (Ric), but not mono encoder)
• commission xpm0 in 208 (weaver)
• (would be nice) xtcav "nice" for acr? how do we share between tmo/rix: need bos-switchable timing?
• (would be nice) test psana2 live mode again (mona)
• training for scientists (e.g. on timing system and sequences) (matt)
  • check we have psana2 detector interface for "sequence bits" (Matt thinks we have this: 272 bits)
• timing in all detectors

s3df to-do

• (done) psana1 (mikhail, valerio) psana2 (mikhail, mona, valerio)
• (done) smalldata code (silke, vincent)
  • will ask wilko to move some psana1 data over
  • need path to install packages
  • done by early february?
• movers (wilko)
  • few days of work.  still needs some work on feb. 15
• need some kafka work for movers and elog (wilko)
  • should be ready for early february.  still needs some work on feb. 15
• need some data management machines and irods (replaced by rucio in a few months) integration (wilko)
  • still needs some work on feb. 15
• data storage (omar)?
  • backend spinning-disk (aka "s3") 10's of PB done early january
  • will get 1.5PB of flash free space by third of week of january
  • serious issue (has been worked-around by using "/home" and relaxing ACLs for FFB): no extended ACL's since mounted via nfs.  need multi-cluster feature? (expected in april?) or fully functional nfs?
    • could workaround by making group the expt group, but then access via ps-data (e.g. silke) wouldn't work
• mon-node mount of calibdir (under /sdf/data/lcls) via weka-nfs (IT)  (done)
  • will try third week of january
• ARP (murali, wilko)
  • should be straightforward copy of what we currently have. confirm with murali. (still needs work on feb. 15)
• jupyter/ondemand (wilko, riccardo) (done)
  • could provide yee with default kernels (cpo will contact yee/wilko)
  • can run in batch queues (charged) and interactive nodes (free!!!)
• (done) LCLS group permissions syncing (wilko)
• finalize high-priority analysis mechanism (reservations, we believe)
  • need coact (like iris at nersc) stuff from murali available by beginning of february
    • need management accounts to create per-account CPU allocations with coact.  still needs work on feb. 15
  • will also coact to enable their s3df account
• enable user access to s3df (IT)

tmo to-do

Equipment list:

• magnetic bottle (few hsd channels)
• 2 opals (fzp, atm).  atm alignment could be in controls?  eventually cvmi opal in run 22.
• 2 piranha (atm, fzp)
• bld (ebeam, gmd, xgmd)

...

[camera,   need by date,   retire date]
[cvmi_opal_1, oct 27, nov 19] - retire date is negotiable, (maybe needs to be earlier?)
[cvmi_opal_2, oct 27, nov 19] - retire date is negotiable, (maybe needs to be earlier?)
[atm_opal,       oct 27, possibly run 22]
[fzp_opal,        oct 27, possibly run 22]
[atm_pirhana, oct 27, not planned]
[fzp_pirhana,  oct 27, not planned]

rix to-do

Equipment list:

• 3 andor newton
• 3 wave8
• 1 piranha (atm)
• 1 opal (atm)
• bld (ebeam, gmd, xgmd)
• high-rate interpolated mono encoder (caf)
  • what is the right way to use that encoder (absolute or relative for the motor?)
  • relative encoder is still with vendor; early next year arrival at SLAC; try to integrate and read out at higher rates (work with Zach)
• EXS Manta (coordinate with controls for timing/sequencing)
• 1 channel HSD for coarse timing (rate? 1 kHz ok if we can see the whole waveform)
