  1. IOTA Synclight System &Control Software, Datalogging Aleksandr Romanov 2018/2019 IOTA/FAST Run Retreat 19 April 2019

  2. Commissioning • System design and tests started in 2015 • Principal design with all major components • Acquisition of essential components: cameras, picomotors, irises, filters, black-boxes, hardware • Basic software inherited from previous projects with addition of modifications necessary to communicate with PoE cameras • 2016-2017 • Tests of automation scenarios and refining of the mechanical design • Two summer students projects Presenter | Presentation Title

  3. Commissioning 2018 • 2018 before the run. • March: prototype based on stepper motors tested • Network setup • Servers setup • Cable pulls • Black boxes preliminary installation • 2018 during the run • 2018-10-16 First stored beam in IOTA and light at M2R • 2018-10-23 Beam centered on M2R and M3L • 2018-10-30 Beam centered on M1R, M2R, M4R, M2L. M3L taken for PMT. First LOCO based on cameras. • 2018-11-01 Instrumented M3R and M4L • 2018-11-08 M1L instrumented, M3L camera added on movable stage, all cameras can be operational at the same time. Problems finding beam at M1L: • 2018-11: 8(a,w),12 (a,w), 13(w), 15(a,w), 17(a), 19(work+win!) • 2018-11-19 Beam seen on all cameras. • Focusing with slow low-range translation stages took long time with several opportunistic cave accesses • Setup using picomotors as a backup • Setup of prototype at IOTA’s M4L • Problematic movement of mirror for X-Y beam positioning Presenter | Presentation Title

  4. Commissioning 2019 (part of single electron studies) • Mon 2019-03-04: Installation of 2 degree optics adaptor prototype with successful results. • Sat 2019-03-09: morning access, started installation of newly designed stepper-based actuators on all stages • Mon 2019-03-11: morning access, installed new stepper mounts, M3L fully equipped for tests (successful) • Thu 2019-03-14: morning access, installed all steppers for top mirrors, installed second control board • Fri 2019-03-15: 1h morning access, installed 2 more control boards and 1 linear stage • Sat 2019-03-16: access for installation of flanges, focusing stages and electronics, light tightening • Sun 2019-03-17: access focusing stages installation, relocation of control boards. Focused and maximized light on all cameras. Presenter | Presentation Title

  5. TODO list • Hardware • Install 2-3 bigger black boxes • Assemble 10 more control boards and put all 16 in boxes • Install motorized irises • Buy irises with 50mm max aperture • Install changeable ND & color filters • Motorize bottom mirrors with steppers • Software • Work on reliability of BPM server that speaks with pickups • Resolve problem of finite Kerberos ticket lifetime • Add lifetime monitor • Add absolute calibration of current • Add datalogging with ACNET Presenter | Presentation Title

  6. Control Software, Datalogging • Sixdsimulation was available on the first day of commissioning • ECS for Sixdsimulation to communicate with ACNET • BPMServerCommon for Sixdsimulation to communicate with BPMs • Datalogging via saved files with experimental data • Very limited data logging for cameras • Cameras client was available on the first day • All cameras were functional 2018-11-19 • 2018-12-22: “PickupAnalyser” for online betatron tunes measurements • 2019-02-27: “acnetHTMLPlotter” for plotting array devices • Pickup’s amplitudes and coordinates during injection (synoptic tool that has this functional often plot nothing) Presenter | Presentation Title

  7. Backup • 2018-10-27 first matched injection (fixed phase of CM2) Presenter | Presentation Title
