Margaret Ghaly insert links to an "org chart" for all of HE controls. Need the PoCs for things identified.

The Spectrometer Arm has been installed and checked out. The spectrometer arm has a total of 27 axes installed with coupled and coordinated motion with strict EPS requirements. The acceptance test went very well with Toyama and even were complete ahead of schedule.
The QRIX vacuum PLC code has been merged with that of the spectrometer arm. The vacuum controls integration is complete for all the installed devices.

We began taking initial Radiation measurements in the FEE! From four different locations we gained 2 sensor readouts each. Here we see Hard Xray beam energy mapped against dose rates.
A shift was made to bring the rest of the sensors online. Looking forward to collecting more data this month!
XRT HOMS Mirrors are now all state controlled! We can now reach mirror coating positions and move the mirrors in and out of the beam with one click!
MR1K4 FEE TMO mirror newly upgraded with coating state PMPS control.

This year Diling Zhu has sponsored the collaboration project (many thanks Diling!), which is to develop a prototype system for determining interaction point alignment using machine vision. In early March, the CSU Chico Engineering Capstone Collaboration project team visited XPP to do some final fit measurements around the interaction point for installation of their project later this year.
For the past five years LCLS departments (SED and ME) have sponsored projects with the Mechanical/Mechatronic Engineering departments of CSU Chico for their engineering degree capstone. Each year the collaboration project offers a chance for LCLS to develop prototype concepts, or even to offload a manageable portion of work to a team of 4-5 students and a faculty advisor (for a nominal fee + M&S). More importantly these projects offer us a chance to discover talented candidates that we can hire. If you have an idea for a project, please contact Alex Wallace for details. On a final note, this year we are excited to announce that we hired another student from the collaboration project, Mitchell Cabral. He will join ECS as a control system integrator in June.
