Beschreibung

This school shall provide a rough overview of new and/or changed control system procedures to users and interested colleagues, providing a foundation for the more comprehensive tutorial sessions planned during the wet run.

The demonstrations during the school shall build upon the presentations given during the 2025 operator school. Since time is limited, they will focus on:

Changes introduced for integrating UNILAC in to the control system
Operating procedures required for conducting the wet run
Limitations currently in place because some control system components are still in development

To prepare for the school, you may want to revisit the following presentations given during the 2025 operator school:
