Better power supplies for 901
Federica Murgia For safety reasons, all the DRL power supplies in building 901 have been replaced by desktop power supplies.
The new 24V desktop power supplies are currently stored in office 113 F, and they can be used only for the racks in building 901.
Each power supply comes with a power cord and a 24V power supply cable 3ft long (they are all labeled).
Note: each power supply can handle more than one PLC, but the current range is 0 ~ 11.67 A.
You can find more information about the first power supply inspection and the new power supply on this confluence page.
Please, update the equipment track sheet if you take one of them.

The HE Controls team continues to make significant progress towards the Preliminary Design Review with increased engagement from the team. This is also reflected in increased earned value reports. Efforts for the refreshed FY22 M&S cost estimates are still ongoing with most of the systems nearing completion. The team commenced with their preliminary design readiness review activities in preparation for the upcoming reviews. Design progress towards the Preliminary Design Review is on track with steady engagement from the team. Activities for 3B reviews and drilldowns preparations have also started.

Lightpath
Lightpath is coming along nicely. As the major work on the UI approaches completion, our focus shifts to updating existing devices to fit the new lightpath interface.
Previously many devices did not ready themselves for lightpath, or did so half heartedly. Most devices were straightforward to update, with some more complicated devices
requiring more investigation (eg. the various offset mirrors). We are doing our best to update and test these devices thoroughly, in order to minimize disruptions during deployment.
With the changes to the lightpath interface, we have updated the package documentation to include information on what lightpath expects and how to ensure your python / ophyd device can be read by lightpath. (https://pcdshub.github.io/lightpath/)
A lightpath demo has been set up, try it by running: (and let Robert know if anything doesn't work)

Hello, Goodbye
| Aron Rezene is a new intern from Washington, DC, joining the LCLS Exp. Control Systems Delivery Team. As an undergrad in Physics at SUNY Oswego, he fancied extracurricular studies in DSP & control systems engineering along with C++ to complement the experimental practices used in physics research. His personal interest include embedded systems and computational physics and before joining SLAC, he served as a test intern measuring thermal impedance of SiPh lasers at the LiDar startup Aeva. His indoor hobbies include chess and watching Arsenal matches, but he prefers to spend free time outdoors, playing soccer, catching up with friends, or going for a hike. |
We waved goodbye to Tyler Pennebaker in August as he prepared to set off for graduate school at UCSB. You can read his kudoboard here.
