News: MacroServerRestartPostScript; ExpPCs Debian upgrades; Leaps FAB questionaiire

• MacroServerRestartPostScript: the MacroServer environment variable MacroServerRestartPostScript points to a Python script which is executed when SardanaRestartMacroServer3.py and SardanaRestartBoth3.py finish, e.g.:

  p09/door/haso107d10.01 [1]: senv MacroServerRestartPostScript "/home/p99user/temp/MSRestartPostScript.py"
  

  python3-hasyutils has been updated.

• ExpPCs Debian upgrades:
  • Debian-12: packages are created
  • Adjust MySQL configuration
  • java CORBA issue: pogo, astor, ATK panel
  • Tests need to be executed
  • New PCs will be installed with Debian-12
  • Upgrade of Debian-10 PCs in the winter shutdown
  • Security updates for Debian-10 until June 2024

• Leaps LIP WP3.6, FAB questionaire, HC Wille
  1. For which components/instruments do you use alignment scripts/procedures (e.g. undulators, monochromators, slit systems, mirrors, sample position, KB optics, lenses etc.)?

  2. For which components do you use real time / direct feedback alignment?

  3. Are the feedback systems software or hardware based? (E.g. a script running on the control software or a special extra hardware directly connected to the device not interacting with the device via the control software.)

  4. What is the max. speed? (e.g. feedback loops in Hz)

  5. Do you have solutions for automated detector calibration/software configuration and/or a user-friendly parameter setting support?

  6. Are sample coding/tracking systems available/used at your institution?

  7. Is automated sample change/load (e.g. using robots) available (for which techniques)?

  8. Is remote control of experiments available (which techniques)?

  9. Is remote presence realized (which type? E-logbooks, video presence,…)?

  10. Is remote fast feedback analysis available (for which technique)?

  11. Are remote data analysis capabilities available (for which technique)?

  12. Is AI supported data analysis and/or experiment control available (which type)

  13. Is (AI supported?) (remote) control of complex sample environments and corresponding parameters realized (for which techniques)?

  14. Comments / suggestions / further information to be shared?
