- What do you think is the best thing about IBEX?
- What would you most like to change about IBEX?
- Have you been using the script server?
- If no, why? Highlights of features are in the presentation at https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/ibex_user_manual/wiki/nicos_changes.ppt, show these to users and ask if they would find these things useful. If so encourage to play with the script server
- If yes, ask for any feedback
- Do you pay attention to the flashing alarms or log messages? How can we make these more useful? Are there specific alarms that are always on that we need to sort out?

DK&DM | 13/2/25 11:00 | The members of IMAT noted that they had an issue when writing a file between two computers. They found a workaround by killing the process in the console. We suggested that they should contact Experimental Controls the next time this issue occurs, to provide greater context and resolve the issue. Concerns over Windows 11 migrations were raised; however, DK replied that this would not be a concern for another few years. A request for a link to the latest build of IBEX was made, and DM will email those groups with this information. |

FA&SC | 10/2/25 14:00 | No major issues reported. Discussed script checking changes, they raised a question about whether instrument (as opposed to user scripts) had or would need changing which Freddie said he would check and subsequently emailed clarification as well as links to demo slides and examples/video on type checking |

LJ&TW | 11/2/25 11:00 | Blocks/OPIs taking a long time to reconnect: pointed out refresh PVs button and right-click refresh in OPI. Longstanding issue. Mentioned they wanted ability to order blocks. Showed scientists how to use the existing options to order groups by size, and how to move blocks within a group live during the demo. This seemed to mostly satisfy the request, they will come back to us if there are further improvements they would like. Beam status view showing "flat lines" - fixes itself if you swap to 1h and back to 24h. Issue. SXD would like to use Raman Spectrometer. Same as HRPD's, entirely different from TOSCA's. Raised with KB/GR as this is a bigger task - will get prioritised via usual route involving group leader etc.[#3354] GEM Biologic potentiostat. May already be supported (variant of a model IBEX already supports). Inst. scientist is going to check whether the existing driver works and report back if not. |

Muon catch up All Muon Instruments |
KB&GR | 31/1/25 14:30 | With the ease of editing the tpar files concerns relating to using known good files and reverting to specific versions was raised. There are some historic tickets, https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/6669 and https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/5081 KB will add these to lists of things to look between now and the next deploy. EMU and HIFI would both like to start using the HVCAEN system, KB will create a task for this to be looked at in a future shutdown. Script generator changing things on the fly was also brought up as something that is in a confused state. https://github.com/ISISComputingGroup/IBEX/issues/6841 is the ticket detailing what KB thought had been added to allow this to happen and has some instructions for using the system within it. Whilst the layout has changed since this ticket, the Run, Pause, and Stop buttons do all still exist. As KB understands the requirement, this is correct, feedback of what should be different has been requested. |

KB & JD | 12/11/2024 15:30 | 4 members of the science group present. Asked for the link to the training slides (will send when sourced). Potential for potentiostats in the future, but TBC. Using and liking synoptics, apart from when the block and the synoptic values are out of step with each other. Added a re-requested label, and added to the items for the next PI. |

DK, ES | Friday 19 April 11:30 | JK, RR, WK, SB present Multiple spectra plots: WK said very useful, JK asked if it could show combined plots MOXA perspective: all said very useful to see which ports are connected/free JK asked how to bring up code-completion box in script console window without '.' PEARL PC disabled tab: JK said could be used in some other OPIs on ENGINX WK & SB interested in script generator and server. Will wait for further development and training |

LJ, DM | Friday 17 May 15:30 | RS, GP & MG present RS: Manager mode – Cryostat(?) temperature controller set point currently requires manager mode when changing the set point. RS has stated that Freddie stated this feature could easily be taken out. MG: Someone from muons has stated that the script generator was making a mistake with copies, either getting numbers wrong or the order wrong |
