Procedures¶
The staff-run procedures CORA would carry for FXI. This is CORA's procedure design; the beamline's existing routines are the evidence that each procedure is needed, not the specification CORA copies.
A CORA Procedure is a staff-run sequence with preconditions and an outcome, often a Calibration. Each is carried confirm until FXI staff verify the step detail.
Energy-lookup calibration¶
Builds the table the energy-change recipe interpolates.
- What CORA does: at a set of reference energies, record the coordinated positions of the monochromator, zone plate, condenser, aperture, and detector that keep the image focused and the magnification constant.
- Outcome: a Calibration the energy-setting recipe reads. Without it, the coupled energy move has nothing to interpolate.
- Evidence it is needed: the beamline maintains exactly such a lookup today; CORA owns building and storing it as a Calibration.
Rotation-center finding¶
Locates the tomographic rotation axis on the detector before or during reconstruction.
- What CORA does: reconstruct trial slices across candidate center offsets and select the sharpest, or derive the center from a 0/180-degree projection pair.
- Outcome: the rotation-center value the reconstruction (compute) leg consumes.
Focus and field alignment¶
- What CORA does: set the scintillator focus and the secondary-source/illumination field, producing focus and field Calibrations.
- These routines exist on the floor today; their exact step detail is carried
confirmpending staff confirmation.
Recovery¶
No documented recovery runbook is available from public sources, and the controller identities are not public (DRIVE-1), so CORA does not yet carry an FXI recovery Procedure. Inventing one from absence would not be record; it joins these pages once the controllers are identified and a real recovery routine is confirmed.
