AMX

highly automated macromolecular crystallography (rotation MX on a single-omega goniometer + Eiger, EMBL robot sample exchange), 17-ID-1; FMX's sibling, CORA's 3rd MX; modelled from public beamline config.

Property Value
Facility NSLS-II (EPICS / bluesky)
Sector Sector 17
Source insertion-device
Modelled reverse-engineered, full coverage

Generated from the descriptor

This page is generated from the descriptor at deployments/amx/beamline.yaml. Edit the descriptor, not this page.

The device handles are read from the facility's public controls configuration and verified against it; vendor parts, energies, and physical positions are not in it and are carried confirm until beamline staff verify them. Source: NSLS2/amx-profile-collection.

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
17-ID-A optics-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS search-and-secure permit leaf and the shutter PVs are not in the profile collection; the front end is shared with FMX (PSS-1, TOPO-1)
17-ID-B experiment-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; 17-ID-B (PV zone XF:17IDB) is the AMX experiment enclosure carrying the KB mirrors, the goniometer, the robot, and the Eiger (PSS-1)

The beamline

FMX's high-throughput sibling on the shared 17-ID straight, completing the NSLS-II MX pair: CORA's third MX deployment, pure reuse that coins no new Family.

  • 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.
