Sample

The sample-orientation goniometer (whose theta is the grazing / specular incidence axis), the surface-leveling stage, the sample-exchange arm, and the in-situ temperature stage.

Enclosure: cms-endstation.

Note

The sample circles bind Goniometer; the sample theta (sth) is the grazing-incidence and specular-reflectivity angle (SAMPLE-1). Operational quirk: staff have at times swapped sth and schi, and alternate chamber configurations rebind the logical axes across physical PVs at startup; CORA models the logical Goniometer and carries the binding as a setting (SAMPLE-1). The surface-leveling sub-stage binds TiltStage. The GIBar sample-exchange arm is modelled by its stage axes (LinearStage) at n=1, no SampleExchanger Family coined (ROBOT-1). The Linkam stage binds the graduated TemperatureController.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
SampleGoniometer Goniometer XF:11BMB-ES{Chm:Smpl-Ax:theta}Mtr sample-orientation circles (x / y translations, theta incidence sth, chi schi, phi sphi); sth is the grazing / specular angle; the sth-vs-schi swap and the chamber rebinding are SAMPLE-1 new confirm
SurfaceStage TiltStage XF:11BMB-ES{SM:1-Ax:Stilt}Mtr the surface-leveling sub-stage (Srot rotation, Strans translations, Stilt tilts) for thin-film samples; the leveling tilts bind TiltStage (SAMPLE-1) new confirm
SampleExchangeArm LinearStage XF:11BMB-ES{SM:1-Ax:Z}Mtr the GIBar sample-exchange arm (x / y / z translations plus a yaw); a multi-axis sample-bar loader modelled by its stage axes at n=1, no SampleExchanger Family coined pending a second fleet sample robot (ROBOT-1) new confirm
TemperatureStage TemperatureController confirm: the Linkam thermal / tensile stage; reuses the graduated Family (presents Regulator); the range and the tensile-load axis are TEMP-1 Linkam in-situ temperature stage; reuses the graduated Family (presents Regulator); range is TEMP-1 new confirm
