Controls¶
The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS / bluesky.
Unlike the other NSLS-II coherent beamlines, the CDI profile collection exposes no hardware trigger box: there is no Zebra or PandA startup file, and no shutter PVs. The Eiger2 and Merlin carry internal and external trigger modes in their device classes, but how an exposure is gated on the floor is not in source (TIMING-1). The motors sit on EPICS motor records whose controller boxes, firmware, and IPs are likewise not exposed (DRIVE-1).
