Source

The incident beam, produced, conditioned, and defined before the sample. A walk along the source-stage devices; the sample and detection stages are documented as their own composed-fixture pages, the controllers that drive these devices are on the Controls page, and the supplies they draw on are in Operations. Each device pairs its human name with the EPICS handle, its key specs, and whether it is field replaceable. new marks a device not yet modeled in CORA; confirm marks a value taken from the docs that staff have not yet verified.

Sector Sector 17
Tier Unit
Source insertion-device (confirm: FMX (17-ID-2) shares its IVU21 in-vacuum undulator (SR:C17-ID:G1{IVU21:2}) and the 17-ID straight with its sibling AMX (17-ID-1); modelled as one root Unit feeding the 17-ID-2 branch (the CSX canted-23-ID / 32-ID precedent), not two roots. Undulator period and gap range not fully in the profile collection (SRC-1, TOPO-1).)

Optics

Condition the beam and set its energy: the horizontal double-crystal monochromator, the horizontal focusing mirror and the KB mirror pair, the compound-refractive-lens transfocator, the beam-conditioning attenuators, and the slits. PVs verified against the fmx-profile-collection startup files.
