sndueste 10.1 1 == Some basic stuff: ==
sendels 1.1 2
sndueste 10.1 3 * (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)The relevant data is the arrival time FLASH.SDIAG/BAM/4DBC3/LOW_CHARGE_ARRIVAL_TIME
4 * (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)Besides the arrival time from FLASH1 there is also the FLASH2/3 electron arrival time saved. The BAM data is saved for the complete RF pulse. First bunches are from FLASH1 then there is a gap for switching and then there is a second part for FLASH2 (starting at the FLASH2 start time (recorded in DAQ as {{code language="none"}}/FL2/Timing/start time flash2{{/code}}))
5 * (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)There are LOW and HIGH charge channels. For now the LOW_CHARGE Channel is the relevant one.
6 * (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)Bigger numbers indicate later arrival time of the electrons
7 * (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)The arrival time should be within -20 ps and +20 ps - otherwise there might be a problem ...
8 * (((
9 (% style="" %)
10 (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)The actual time t0 = 0ps is an arbitrary offset which is only changed after setting up the system after, e.g., a maintenance time, and has no relevance.
sendels 1.1 11
sndueste 10.1 12 (% style="" %)
13 (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)What one usually does, after defining/finding time zero in the experiment, is either observe the relative changes for a single bunch during the course of the measurement run compared to the starting point,
sendels 1.1 14
sndueste 10.1 15 (% style="" %)
16 (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)or (in addition) observe the relative deviation across all bunches within the same bunch train.
sendels 1.1 17
sndueste 10.1 18 (% style="" %)
19 (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)Those deviations and drifts happen usually only in the order of 50fs to 200fs; depending on the machine setup.
sendels 1.1 20
sndueste 10.1 21 (% style="" %)
22 (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)The short-term timing jitter (over several 100 trains) for each individual bunch, i.e. the standard deviation from their mean value, is usually ~~ 20fs.
sendels 1.1 23
sndueste 10.1 24 (% style="" %)
25 (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)The actual measurement resolution of a BAM can be - currently - as good as 3fs, for each bunch in the full train.

87 ** (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)usually the BAM signal has to be added to the delay ...
88 ** (% style="color: rgb(255,0,0);" %)it is the best to test addition/subtraction and check the results on a step function (more/less sharp) - if there is no change of the data with + and - there is anyway something wrong. please contact your local contact for more information / help
