The device families are inferred from public facility pages and papers; no control handles or vendor models are public, so every value is carried confirm until staff verify it. Source: als-computing.

The beamline

CORA's first ALS beamline: hard X-ray micro-tomography from a Superbend source, its first BCS (LabVIEW) control house-style, reusing the tomography spine with control handles unbound.

  • Source: the beam, produced and conditioned before the sample.
  • Sample: the sample environment and its positioning.
  • Detector: what records the beam after the sample.
  • Controls: the control plane CORA's edge conducts over.

Not yet documented

This beamline has no Operations runbook and no live Experiment view, because CORA does not drive it yet. Both pages describe what an operator does with a running system, so writing them for a beamline CORA only models would be invention rather than documentation. The pilot at 2-BM carries both, and shows the shape they take once a deployment goes live.
