The Mesytec crate was turned off and on again.

It is again possible to communicate with the XUV detector via python to apply voltage and current.

The MesyTec Shaper & Constant Fraction (MSCF) is used to process the PMT/det signals for the ADC in the second DAQ.
It can be setup on its front panel, but single channel setup is very tedious.
Remote control of the settings is possible using an epics server and client.

All of the following is done with the "litv-exp" user:

server: atpnuc001 (in the screen session "E142")
client: lxg1275 

The server should run undisturbed, but in case of a power failure, you can start the server like this:
> ssh litv-exp@atpnuc001
> cd e142
> ./E142_start_ioc.sh

To check server:
> ssh litv-exp@atpnuc001
> screen -x (CTRL-a CTRL-d to leave screen)

To connect the client gui for remote control, do:
> ssh litv-exp@lxg1275
> E142_epics
The panel is more or less self-explaining. 
One thing has to be noted: the Monitor Channel selection is shifted by -1.
I.e., [ch 1] is button [0], etc.

The MSCF settings can be stored and loaded to/from file by using a bash-script.
The settings will be saved/loaded from: 
/u/litv-exp/e142/mscf_settings/
files names are "setting_e142.<linux_timestamp>"

The scripts are also in /u/litv-exp/e142/mscf_settings/
use 
./mscf_save.sh                   for saving the current settings to a new file
use 
./mscf_load_last.sh              to load the last settings file (by timestamp in the filename) 
use 
./mscf_load_file.sh <filename>   to load the settings of a specific file

NTCAP is taking data with the beam with a stop at manipulation 5 (taking all the fragments).

MBS error "TDC data ready wait" solved. Common stop trigger (20 kHz) was missing. (according to Sebastian)

After the recovery from the failures during the night, we see much lower intensity at the experiment (measured with the particle detector count rate).
Instead of 8000-10000 cts we see only 3000-4000cts at comparable SIS intensities.
Also ESR cooler seems to be slightly unstable (wiggling lines) during injection. However, it is visually evident from the Schottky that the injected intensity already is much lower than yesterday evening.

All devices in ESR are (seem to run ) runnng properly, and also slit position (PN devices) are ok.

I am going to open the slits iin the SIS ESR transfer beamline. It would be useful to check for the SIS-ESR timing.

Settings:
Center: 2242.5MHz
RefLevel: -25dB
Rate 15 MIQs

File Numbers: 2022_04_05 23-46-22

Please note that the file started one minute earlier had wrong settings.

File contains also injection, paused in machine #5: ramped to central orbit / not yet bunched.
The measurement does not represent the later settings since here hte 229Th89+ is still on a too inner orbit (cf. previous post).

The beam settings can also be found in the previous post.

We changed the laser step size to 0.002 nm which corresponds to 5.75 GHz.

We have checked the laser power at 14:15 *

- Pump energy after Q-Ray @ 532nm: 559 mJ.
- Seed energy for Cobra @ 532 nm: 505 mJ (before 481 mJ).
- Correction factor for monitor: 28.8.
- UV-Energy after SHG @ 321.6 nm: 13.7 mJ.


* All values are averaged over 500 shots
