Emittance meter number 2 ready for beam shortly - installed and pumping down.
No beam found by Thursday evening, but beam seems to be coming out much differently than last time. Will check on emittance meter functionality and try to re-tune later.
Ramping things down for the next couple days.

Source heating ramped back up, everything back on. Will try to straighten out steering then see if I can get things back in the previous positions.
Saturday, April 03, 2021, 14:59 :
Nothing seems to be working, will vent the beamline and remove the slit.
Saturday, April 03, 2021, 15:36 :
Apparently closing the valve started a vacuum leak that tripped everything in the source. I noticed within the first minute and ramped everything back up, maybe too quickly....
Have now put everything in a holding state, will resume tomorrow.
Sunday, April 04, 2021, 14:17 :
Found everything off again this morning. Ramping back up in the hopes that I can get something done before the whole system trips again. The trips look like water leaks again.
Uninstalled the slit and left it in the bottom of the vacuum box. Swapped the window to the computer side for convenience. Seal on the other side on the CF flange is a bit weird, not sure if it is in properly...
Sunday, April 04, 2021, 18:43
Still no beam. TISA emittance FC won't come back on, so waiting for Mike Rowe to troubleshoot on Tuesday. Will ramp things down all the way, since I expect the vacuum to trip the source before I need it again.

Work started to bring the ATTS PS inside the ITS HV cage. HV grounding rod and metal sheet around breaker panel were removed - see picture.
Friday, April 16, 2021, Afternoon
HS line purged and turbos shut down.
Monday, April 19
Morning, Anders vented ITS
11AM, Dan found o-ring and indium seal on the same connector - likely this was the cause of the leak. replaced by a brand new indium seal, punched with the RH punchers, which seems the way to go.
Evening, Luca disinstalls FEBIAD from Fernando, and installs the P2N target. It has not been leak checked in the cold lab prior to installation (I'm not sure where all the equipment is), and no resistance measurements were carried out since I couldn't find Travis's ohm-meter.
Vacuum coming down, but slowly than I expected (took 1h to get from 2e-5 to 1e-5 T, is this right?)
Tuesday, April 20, 2021, 15:33
This morning Ray installed the controls cables connecting the ATTS PSs. They are still attached to the ATTS PLC, but their interlock signal now comes from the TBHT "enable" , through a 15V signal. Once the power is ON, he recommends checking that the TBHT sends the proper 15V (has to be higher than 12V) to the ATTS PLC, checking the voltage between the red and green/while cables on the PLC module labelled "TGHT:MAS". This should be done once the TBHT is "enabled", so the signal is sent.
The DC cables were installed going from the positive and negative poles of the ATTS:SLV. The order and number of 4/0 cables are:
Positive: One cable to G and two cables to E
Negative: One cable to H amd two cables to F
This should be checked with Arthur once he's on site (tomorrow).
A water leak was still seen, while the pressure was around 1E-6 T. Checking all three loops of FS#3, it's confirmed again that the leak is in HF. Will need top open up and pinpoint the leak.
Thursday, April 22, 2021, 13:45
The lines F and G were inspected for water leaks. After blanking them to inspect the solder joint along the lines, two new indium seals were repositioned, the lines sniffed and no signs of leaks were detected. TS closed up again, pumping down now.
Friday, April 23, 2021, 21:06
Pressure in ITS slowly coming down. This morning was ~3E-6T and now is 2E-6T. Water was flowing for most of the day, but I turned it off and purged FS#3 with no significant difference. I re-turned it on in order to run short PS tests with little current (up to ~10 A) for few seconds every time. Now I purged FS#3 again to leave the TS pumping over the weekend with air, so that opening the water in few hours/days might give us a better idea if the leak is still there.
As far as power supplies, we ran lots of tests today with Ray and Arthur (both were remotely connected through Teams). Initially the tests were unsuccesful because I kept turning off the main breaker when testing the electronics, and only later realized the ITS-PLC is connected to the same breaker.
After this realization, we progressed step by step: we confirmed that the enable signal (~13 V) was seen by both the ITS-TBHT and the ATTS-MASTER, however we realized that the ATTS:MASTER was *not* turning OFF when it should have. This is because the shutoff voltage signal was not zero, but was around ~1V, and was enough to turn OFF the TBHT (Xantrex) but not the ATTS:MASTER (TDK). Arthur suggested this could be due to the fact that two PLC are tied to each other, and see different "grounds", hence some voltage confusion might be coming from here. After taking a look at the connections in the ATTS PLC, we decided to try isolating the ATTS:MASTER module from its ground connection by disconnecting the yellow and green wires coming from the top of its PLC module, and this resolved the issue when the DB25 connector of the ATTS"MASTER is disconnected from the PS; however, once this DB25 is connected, the voltage seen by the MASTER is still ~1V and not zero, and still enables the PS when it should instead be shutoff.
Next week we should try to find the proper wire configuration that allows seeing zero V as shutdown signal and not ~1V.
Tuesday, April 27, 2021, 20:56
The new P2NHT power supply configuration is now operational at the test stand. A relay was added in the PLC cabinet to take a +15V signal from the TBHT PLC module and close a short circuit to "enable" the P2NHT master and slave (TDK-LAMBDA).
After initial ramping up to ~222A, I noticed the voltage read by the PS was about 0.45V, while extrapolating the results from the previous ITS-P2N run, the voltage should have been ~0.9V. I would like to measure the resistances of the lines to pick up potential shorts in the copper conductors in the vacuum chamber.
Wednesday, April 28, 2021, 11:30
This morning, the resistance matrix was measured between the feedthroughs of the test stand, see attached picture.
TBHT+ = A
TBHT- = B
P2NM- = C
P2NM+ = D
P2NS+ = G,E
P2NS- = F,H
Talking to Carla, we agree that the matrix seems correct and does not show any signs of short in the lines. But still, the voltages read by the PS seem too low compared to the previous run on July 2020.
Wednesday, April 28, 2021, 19:14
To make sure that current is not flowing where it is not supposed to be, the ion source only (A, B) was hooked up to the TBHT
Voltages:
A/C (TBHT+ / P2NM-)=-0.11 V
A/D (TBHT+ / P2NM+)=-0.11 V
B/C (TBHT- / P2NM-)=0.21 V
A/B (TBHT+ / TBHT-) = 0.33 V
While the PS reads 0.42 V --> The two lines made up by two welding cables each make up for the remaining 0.09 V
There's no current flowing anywhere else, all other feedthrough have V=0 between each other.
Wednesday, April 28, 2021, 20:01
Welding cables attached so that the P2NM and P2NS only (TGHT and COIL) are delivering current to the target.
At 230A of the P2N heater (130 on the master, 102 on the slave), the sum of all current coming and going to the feedthroughs balances out.
The voltages across feedthroughs make sense:
B/C (TBHT+ / P2NM-)= 0.20 V
B/D (TBHT+ / P2NM+)=0.22 V
A/B (TBHT+ / TBHT-) = 0.0 V
C/D (P2NM- / P2NM+) = 0.44 V
E/C (P2NS+/P2NM-) = 0.46V
The current going from I (HV common) to H (P2NS-) is zero (0.3A)
After checking these values, I see no reasons to believe the wiring is incorrect, and will proceed with the full installation of P2N heater and TBHT, and ramping up the whole system together. It was noticed though that the TBHT cannot be ramped automatically since the ITS TGHT is not connected to the PLC, and needs to be ramped by hand.

First P2N heating test ongoing.
At P2NHT ~ 570 A and TBHT ~ 100 A shine is already seen, which suggests that current is flowing in the P2N target properly, see picture attached.
Most of the ramping is carefully monitored because the good vacuum signal from the TTS ramping procedure is obviously not working (bypassed), and if the pressure goes past 1E-5T the whole ITS should interlock and abruptly drop the currents, which we want to avoid.
Wednesday, April 28, 2021, 23:16
P2NHT set current = 810 A
P2NHT read current = 800 A
Master and slave have balanced fully, TBHT ramping still proceeds manually. I'm trying to get it to ~200A before leaving.
Thursday, April 29, 2021, 00:54
Ramping successfully achieved.
P2NHT_Master = 594 A - 4.59 V

The gauge inside the service cap is working now, as it actually never broke, a manual valve was still close inside the faraday cage.

Moving on, I tested the code as I want to implement a a couple of things: record a bidimensional anode current to make sure I capture any chance with the coil (if any), use temperature estimation from heating power as well.
When running a magnet-anode scan on sodium I triggered the high efficienct regime. This indicates that the cathode is either hotter or closer. With 280 A I am inclined on the latter.
The regime is unstable as the voltage fluctates as well as the ion current. Over a period of two hours

Anode voltage setpoint=500 A, anode voltage readback=250 V.
Moving the setpoint to 250 causes no effect. But when moving the setpoint to 245 V, the ion current, and the drain current decrease.

Grid still fine.
Tuesday, July 20, 2021, 17:22: TBHT to 240 @ -2A/min.
Around 16:30 there was a slight target voltage drop. This coincided with the anode getting current limited (500mA) at 100V.
Tuesday, July 20, 2021, 17:47: IG1 reacts to the "sparks" observed on the anode leackage current.
Lowering the anode voltage to 0 V. I'll go on-site tomorrow to check the state of the grid and to check if there are visible sparks inside the chamber.
Wednesday, July 21, 2021, 12:40: entries from early today lost I'll try to summarize what has happened:
grid still fine
Manually sweeping the anode but no visual of any kind inside the vacuum. IG1 still reacts to sudden increase of leakage current but nothing observed inside the vacuum chamber.
anode leakage current responds to decreasing the target heating current when lowering to 235A.
When going to 200 A, the anode leakage current drop to 0 mA when the cathode reached 211.
Now the cathode gets current limited as of 1 V.
grid still fine.

Tuesday, August 03, 2021, 11:55, Fernando Maldonado, , , , , , , Problems/Solutions, Swapped emmittance meter voltage cables.
|
After not being able to get beam through the emittance meter. I diagnosed that the plates was not biased (reason yet unknow).
I swapped the cables from the plates such that it looks like the picture below. With this, I was able to take an emittance scan with the previous parameters.
Varying the optics affect the shape and position of the emittance so I believe this is a real signal.
Keeping this configuration until I finish my measurement.

Thursday, August 05, 2021, 08:49, Fernando Maldonado, , , , , , , Problems/Solutions, CANBUS snooper set up to investigate random optics turnining off
|
Problem: Some devices turn off unexpectedly and sometimes without any obvious trigger. In the past, the only time this was an issue was during mass scans. Now with the automation of measurements, this is a major problem as it prevents longer parameter scans.
Thursday, August 05, 2021, 08:00: Kevin setup the CANBUS snooper by hooking it up on the magnet card loop port.
This device tracks the network so if any error happen it will be captured.
Thursday, August 05, 2021, 09:39: Test unsuccessful. No device turned off (I should be happy XD)
Thursday, August 05, 2021, 09:40: Will run the test another time
A PC was setup near the old magnet power supply (20210806_150334.jpg ). One of the software run smoothly but the other more useful one fails to connect to the usb adapter.
Friday, August 06, 2021, 14:52: Fixed issue with the usb adapter. With this, the CANBUS traffic can be store and inspected to catch any error on the communication (Annotation_2021-08-06_144737.png).
Friday, August 06, 2021, 14:53: Loggers are running.
Friday, August 13, 2021, 11:07: I forgot to input the feedback from Kevin:
"33 errors out of 10,300,00 transaction seems statistically insignificant to me. "
From the devices tripped,
"Most of the tripped supplies are located on the front side of the rack, the original test stand controllers"
So maybe the issues could be
"Compatibility issues with the old and new? The newer supplies are all daisy chained, should we upgrade these to the tap boards?
Should the old controllers (original test stand appear to be MK supplies) be upgraded (do we have enough)?" |
Saturday, August 07, 2021, 18:07, Fernando Maldonado, , , , , , , Problems/Solutions, FC0 lasrge oscillation and RMPs offset. Both started today. [Got solved by itself]
|
Saturday, August 07, 2021, 18:02: As mentions in previous entries, the FC0 current oscillates with no change on ion source parameters.
Hence, I came on-site to see if there was an issue with the hardware. Nothing obvious.
Last night there were some sparks that might have cause some issue.
RPMS are shifted toward negative current reading, similar to what we observed when testing TM4 sourcetray.
To rule out hardware issues I swapped the signals from FC0 to FC6 and visceversa.
When the output of FC0 goes to the FC6 controller the readout makes sense, and this behaves as expected with gas on/off.
When the output of FC6 goes to the FC0 controller there is no readout coming out. This suggest, at least to me, that some damage or error is happening on the DAQ side.
I will reboot the ioc expecting to see something.
Things sort kind of Ok but I don't trust it. FC0 reading makes a bit more sense. RPMS remains with an offset
Saturday, August 07, 2021, 20:31: The FC0 reading increase from 7.54e-11 A to 1.64e-8 A starting at 19:32. Also, the RPMS baseleves are not offset anymore, the -10 rd when using the 1 nA scale is back to 0 (normal) |
Monday, August 23, 2021, 09:55, Fernando Maldonado, , , , , , , Problems/Solutions, RP1 changed back
|
Monday, August 23, 2021, 09:53: RP1 was swapped back to our original pump. (see e-log 889)
Derek informed that they test it overnight and performed well, and it's a bit slow but it goes down to 20 mT.
Current is at 36 mTorr and dropping. |
Monday, August 23, 2021, 10:49, Aaron Schmidt - Fernando Maldonado, , , , , , , Problems/Solutions, RGA replaced with a blind flange
|
Monday, August 23, 2021, 10:49: Aaron removed the Extorr RGA and install a blind instead.
When the new RGA arrives it will be changed. |
