Controls¶
The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS (SLS) + eco / slic (SwissFEL).
Alvra runs the PSI EPICS stack plus the SwissFEL event-driven DAQ. The SwissFEL event system (EVR receivers) programs the beam-synchronous trigger pattern; the sf-daq, bsread streaming, and the eco scan / acquisition suite are software / floor.

the SwissFEL event-receiver timing that gates acquisition at beam rate. TimingController carries the device, but 'acquire on event-code N at rate R' has no typed parameter home (TIMING-1). The fs laser / X-ray sync (the eco lxt chain) is a further gap (LASER-1) | new confirm |
