ELOG 8-ID

Can one use the MCS to see 147 Hz

Detectors

I had a question to Suresh.

There is the direct method, that is plug the signal from the
pin diode after the SR-570 and look at the voltage on a scope.
On pind1, the signal was roughly 1.5V on 10/5/21 for 1D focusing at 11 keV,
so high ~like 7x10^11 ph/s, at 200 uA/V. We observed 0.1V peak to peak.

We have handy a Tektronic 3032 DPO scope with 300 MHz analog bandwidth and 2.5 GS/s with a NIC.
Can it be interfaced in EPICS?
Looks like it might https://epics.anl.gov/modules/instrument/tds3000/index.html.

Yes it can.

Hi Eric,

There is no script, the waveforms can be read via the pvs which are 10k words.
SDDS basically reads these waveform pvs.

Thanks,
Nicholas

I'm also thinking of using the MCS on the 8-ID-I crate to determine the flux variations
and take an FFT from the signal.

How is the Joerger MCS set up, does it takes TTL or NIM pulses?
I forget how the Nova V2F are set up, do you remember if they output TTL or NIM pulses?
[1:34 PM] Narayanan, Suresh
NOVA does TTL only. Joerger MCS or Struck MCS, it takes TTL as well.

Flux is the same as on 9/21, so mirror and diamx are in good shape. What we found last fiscal year is that when
the operation mode doesn't change, the source point returns roughly to the same position from week to week.
Flux is 1.3x10^12 ph/s with 250x250 si1 slit, mono at 10.945 keV as last alignment on 9/21/21.

Strzalka, Joe I think we are happy in 8-ID-I. Fell free to start Jiang, Zhang and Strzalka, Joe.

To summarize, we are in a new mode of operation in Hybrid mode from 324 bunch-mode last week. Flux in 8-ID-I is back
to normal at 1.33x10^12 ph/s in a 250x250 um si1, and 7.93x10^11 ph/s in a 250 (H) x 150 (V) beam on pind1.

Zhang, Qingteng The beam is also in good shape on pind2 with a flux of 3.28x10^10 ph/s in a 15 um H si1hgap.
This is only 10% lower that on 10/19/2021 where it was 3.6x10^10 ph/s. Recall last week it was only 1.44x10^10 ph/s.
I am going to let you take over. I have something at 10am for APS-U, and I don't know what you have in the sample stage.

I did also perform a crlx scan with pind2 with si2 at 150 um (V) by 15 um (H).
This is shown here: https://8id.xray.aps.anl.gov/specplots/8idi/2021/11/tingxu20211117/s00002.svg
The transmission is quite flat, would expect the beam footprint of 0.25 mm so looks good
when sampled with 15 um beam on si2hgap.

2D focusing in 8-ID-I imaging the pinhole at 10.9 keV with New Be lens order

Optics

I made all the spacers in 2020. I tested it at 7.35 keV in 8-ID-E only,
and I claimed that it didn't work in general, this is discussed in
8ID elog: https://logbook.xray.aps.anl.gov/8id/8-ID/692 below.

I didn't write any evidence backing this claim.
I wrote this in my JSR paper for 7.35 keV in the
appendix C. I measured something before my beamtime in 8-ID-E with the WB slits opened
and wrote it in Figure 15 https://journals.iucr.org/s/issues/2020/06/00/gb5109/gb5109fig15.html.

"One would expect to either demagnify the horizontal source (20 �m FWHM) or the pinhole (16.6 �m FWHM).
We observe 28.6 �m FWHM horizontally. We suspect this broadening of the focal spot is caused by the
heat bump of the Si monochromator which is not observed in the vertical."

My calculations and drawings for the new x-ray optics set up

Attachment 1 show the new 23 mm spacers required to keep the existing spring at the
same tension as before for other conditions at 7.35 keV. This drawing was put in the shop 1/14/2020.
To focus at 11 keV, we need N=8 R=0.1 mm 2D Be lens.
This is a mount I first introduced here: https://8id.xray.aps.anl.gov/elog/8-ID/616.

Qingteng, it was a lucky check with the filters, but maybe I suspected this possibility.

I got fooled also by a picture from you about the downstream
Televac (see pic). Note that there are 3 Televacs: TV3, TV4, and TV6.
The vacuum in TV6 was set on input 2 instead of 4 which can be toggled by the
Up/down arrows in blue.

I include here a picture of the second unit in EPICS also.
I think SP4 is the downstream high vacuum. I am not sure
what's the upstream flight path in EPICS, but it is on
#1 on TV6 in your picture.

Larry:

I did some quick measurements on the blocks and here's what I find:

-- I should be able to fit 3 blocks on the fly stage with <10 mm of extension (see photo attached).
I'll send Ray the drawing for adaptor plate so that he could drop it at the machine shop first thing in the morning;

-- The opening of the block is 10 mm long, meaning anything in the capillary taller than 10 mm will be clipped
by the block (there's almost no clipping at the bottom though), so I would not recommend 25 mm tall of samples (see photo attached);

limit of PV length in UserCalc record is 40 character for a PV

Controls

[6:38 PM] Dufresne, Eric
Hi Joe, I need help with a userCalc record. I had a userCalc in the past which worked. Recently the PV changed name, it is longer,
and I cannot get userCalc to add it. Is there a maximum length for a PV in the userCalc calculation? Will show what I mean in a picture.

[6:40 PM] Dufresne, Eric
The prefix has just changed (from 8LAMBDA2) to DP_LAMBDA250K_1 and I want to write in the B field
userCalc6.png

[6:46 PM] Dufresne, Eric
In the above image with the new prefix, I cannot enter the full PV name on the B parameter, it clips to _R instead of _RBV. It is as if
someone put a maximum record length for the string at 39 characters.

[6:55 PM] Sullivan, Joseph
I'm afraid there is a maximum string length of 40 characters in that epics version.

The PV is 41 character long: DP_LAMBDA250K_1:cam1:NumImagesCounter_RBV Smile

It is the number of images taken by Area Detector.

We wanted to use this field to control some sample conditions.
We're using python instead of a userCalc as a result of this limitation.

ED

P.S. The MSD user created a python script to run this instead.
See Sep 2021 in spec_data.

Re: Sample stage

Hi all,

unfortunately, the way I have programmed this no longer works.
It is caused by a limit of the string length provided to a userCalc record.
This length is limited to 40 characters and my PV is 41 characters!
DP_LAMBDA250K_1:cam1:NumImagesCounter_RBV
It use to work because it started with 8LLAMBDA2.
The above PV is too long, but tells you the number of image collected by AD.
I am not reprogramming the detector and beamline at this time by changing the name of the detector.

What I am proposing instead would be to ignore this altogether and write
a simple python script that detects the time elapsed since it started, and from the time,
you can program a periodic function to drive the amplitude of the Keithley.

The voltage to apply is this PV: epics_put('8ide:2400:setVoltAO',30) (epics_put is a spec command).
An idea is to get the time of day from the IOC, a useful PV would be: 8idd:HEARTBEAT (time in seconds since start up)
8idd:TOD is a string with the calendar time of day called Current Time in the IOC status screen attached.
This can be grabbed for documentation. The heartbeat is the useful data to make an arbitrary
function generator.

You can make a python script with the frequency and amplitude and call it in spec
before the padtimescan call, making sure it is put in the background and stops
after Nseconds as programmed in the padtimescan call.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Sorry about my late response, but Hashimoto-san and Yoshida-san already informed QZ with instruction how to recover from the current situation.
Hashimoto-san found the cause of the problem and now we are working to fix the problem to update the server.
With current version, it looks like, if you set the threshold below 4 keV, server cannot find the files for

Dear Nakaye-san,

It seems like the entire controls is very fragile. I was using yesterday in the slow mode and it worked well.
Now the IOC wont take any images and see the �error: 33619976�

If these things keep happening, then we cannot run user operations. There are experiments that will fully rely
on this and we cannot get away with running Lambda for example. If slow mode does not work, we can get away
with Lambda. But if the whole thing fails, then we have to cancel the user experiment.

Why does this error keep happening? Is there a troubleshooting process that can be documented that we can
go through in steps? Usually, power cycle fixes most things but it is not clear here what to do.

Keenan, do you know what this error is?

Regarding log files, it would be nice if the most recent file always has the same name (maybe use a

The report mentions restarting the electrometer. What are the symptoms that drive the restart? i.e.
software related crashes, or testing to see if this changes the diamond behavior
Has anything changed in the test setup or analysis since March? Or since the diamond was first installed?
Are all components in the inert gas purge UHP rated? Including tubing, regulator, etc.

Valerie, all in cc,

I've found the electrometer not as stable as I would have expected. I've had to power cycle it sometimes few times a week to get
reliable signals. I don't have any error logs to report, but I'll make a table below of my observations in July.
Not very detailed, sorry.

Nothing changed since March, but some mechanical mounting. In March I changed motorized stages under it.

The BPM is always under N2 flow (High Purity Grade), and with the recommended flow.

Eric

7/13 Had to restart twice to remove large background currents of 11 uA. X-ray total current ~ 100nA.
7/19 Rebooted EM after end of experiment after noting dark currents were high.
7/23 BPM/EPICS not running. Did reset

Eric,

Attached is the IEMR report for you device. As you will see from the report the metallization of the sensor has been compromised.
Contamination in the operating environment is the suspected cause of the performance degradation.
Our recommendation is to replace the diamond and requalify the device.

Let us know how you wish to proceed.

Regards,

Matt

Hi Eric,

This mail is just to confirm what we discussed last week; i.e. we will go ahead and replace the diamond in
your device for you for the lower fee of the quoted inspection and minor repair.

We will also provide updated information advising the use of He gas and let you know about any other pertinent
points to be observed when spec�ing other parts of the gas delivery system.

Kind Regards

you can count on me to get back to Sydor after the summer run of 2022 with any performance issue.
Helium makes sense too. I would appreciate getting an estimate of when I will get the repaired BPM back.

new scatterless pinhole from Incoatec for 8-ID-I

Setups

Suresh bought a new scatterless pinhole to act as a guard for 8-ID-I.
https://apps.inside.anl.gov/paris/req.jsp?reqNbr=G1-203053
See text below for details. Att. 1 is the pinhole holder.

[9:47 AM] Narayanan, Suresh
Jiang, Zhang Chu, Miaoqi is there any interest in scatterless-pinholes (not sure how scatter less they are, these are
from incoatec that are better than the ones we use, laser drilled and edges cleaned). I had talked to those people a while
back and he reached out now to close the case. While their apertures are bigger (100+ um), he said they offer 20-1000 um
Ta pinholes, 20 could end up a bit larger is my guess.

Hi Suresh,

No problem. I try to help you.

You can see the pinhole in the holder. The side that you can see in the
holder is flat/polish. The cone side of the pinhole you can not see
because this side faces to the holder, this side is bonded to the holder.

The cone side of the holder faces to the sample.

Hi Mike,

for the APS-U 8-ID beamline, we've procured a new laser tracker from Leica, model AT-403.
Bill Jansma will help me with setting it up. It uses multiple class 1 lasers of various
wavelengths, and is classified as a class II laser.

Do I need any permission to start using it today?

Summary, Bill set up the Laser Tracker today, reflecting on a 1.5" retroreflector
on the table. We installed additional software "Tracker Pilot" (see att. 5),
and in the afternoon, I connected to the APS wired network and
made a new connection with Tracker Pilot. I made a copy of the software on
my 8-ID-E folder. Mary registered it in IHW, and after rebooting it got the IP below.

Eric,
I checked with my colleague Shawn this morning on the AT403 Battery Questions you asked on Friday afternoon, here is Shawn�s response.

for the 960 and the 40x trackers the batteries are not charged when plugged in with power cable as well-the batteries are only for back up
power or when power is unplugged for a move or to be used when in an area that power is not available. The batteries are only charged when
on the charging station for the AT 40x trackers. For the AT 960 systems the batteries are charged when power cable is plugged into the
battery but will not charge if they are only connected to the controller-does that answer your questions

Let me know if you need anything else,

Hi Matt; Eric,

Would you please locate the 5 digit license dongle number for your seat of Spatial Analyzer software and send it to me?
It is located on the back of the USB license key...
I received notice for renewal and there is a number I am not familiar with - thinking it might possibly be your license.
The numbers were 10518 and 10519 - maybe you have one of them?
Kindly let me know...

Thank You,

Hi Eric,

I think there has been a mix-up in who got which license.
License #10518 is the Pro version of Spatial Analyzer, and #10519 is the Ultimate version.
We are in possession if #10519, but I recall that we ordered the Pro version.
Can you confirm whether your order included the Ultimate version? This should be listed in your original invoice from Hexagon.
If so, we will need to exchange the license keys... Sorry for the confusion - this just came to my attention.

Kind regards,

Bill

complete freezing of NX for 8ID-E.

Computers and Network

See also controls issue with s8idigui and matlab
https://logbook.xray.aps.anl.gov/8id/controls/126 (several IOC crashes because of operator error)

[Chat with SN 10:25 AM] Dufresne, Eric

Some progress has been made on freezing NX for 8ID-E. It looks as though specr causes the full workstation to lock down
when you try to overlay data from multiple scans. Note the image below. I opened up pymca for them and showed Lingjia
how to plot multiple scans with it. Killing matlab doesn't help, did a full reboot.
I tried restarting NX but this failed for me or the beamline account.

Also yesterday decided to use virtual as a test. Still crashed at 9am this morning. Virtual had similar speed as physical in Sweeden,
but lower resolution. It is nicer so I'll stay with the physical display.

Basic epics for Keithley 2400 controls, 6ID Keithley 2410 from 6-ID

Controls

Phil Ryan and I asked Keanan Lang to set up a second Keithley 2400s series from 6ID in parallel
with ours because we were using it and I care about keeping it as is.
This was implemented 7/16/21 at 6pm.
Their Keithley 2410 operates up to 400V, ours only to 211 V.
It is set at 9600 bauds instead of ours at 38400 Bauds.
caQtDM screens are shown below.
The *idn? command also works with Keithley!
This commands is recognized by Lakeshore.

Hi Keenan,

Thanks for setting up the database.

We rebooted the crate. Now all the PV values for the Keithely 2410 are accessible (from caget).
However, the ui screen for the 2410 unit has blank lines (below is the new screen). It looks like there is a
typo somewhere in caQDTM so that the values are not being displayed properly. Could you check the ui file for 2410?

Thanks.

Quote:

I made a function generator out of user Calc records to generate a square wave.
The time axis is connected to the AreaDetector Image Counter.
Because the expression is too long, it connects userCalc7 to userCalc6.
Note that the output of userCalc6 is read in variable A in userCalc7.
The calculation can only be as long as I have in userCalc6 so I had to nest two userCalcs.
In this attachment showing a test, userCalc6 goes from 0 to 1 with a period of NumImages/10 = 60 files, the switch occurs
every 30 files and it goes from 0, 0.5 and 1 in three files.
I would try to keep in the number of periods even like 2,4...
It drives the Keithley Source meter https://logbook.xray.aps.anl.gov/8id/8-ID/528
so this is convenient for higher excitation voltages.

An earlier version is shown in att. 3 for userCalc5.
It did only on 50% off 50%.

My users also made a sinusoidal version in att. 4.

lambda250k with all the modes with and without trigger has been tested quite thoroughly from spec.
All the shutter functionality for detector control is like 8idi now, can run with or without shutter

Then you follow with 8ideBPM.sh css to start CSS control environment.

Solution to autoshutter not opening shutter in 8-ID-A

8-ID-A

Problem

[6/24 2:31 PM] From Suresh
Thomas, Joe, the 8-ID autoshutter control for the past month or more, even maybe last cycle,
I enable on Monday afternoon and find that before next morning it is disabled again.
Could you please take a look?

[8:34 AM] From Joe Sullivan
Suresh,
the 'Lease Date' has expired. This does a Disable when the permits change states.
Bump up the lease date the next time the A-Shutter is closed.

[10:38 AM] Walsh, Thomas R.
What is the reason for the lease Date?

[2:15 PM] Narayanan, Suresh
to make people remember that such an auto tool exists that can keep opening the shutter even if you dont want to.
I am serious, incident happened at 33id 8 years ago that kept opening the shutter while beam was burning through a bellow

[2:15 PM] Narayanan, Suresh
based on that incident, lease feature was added by Joe and also the auto disable on Monday was added as well

7/6/2021 Update
Changed lease date to 11/30/2022... Should fix the problem Suresh mentioned above.
