Controls¶
The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS / dodal.
I03 runs the Diamond EPICS control stack (driven by GDA and the bluesky-based hyperion / mx-bluesky plan suite). dodal records the device PV prefixes carried above; the Zebra and PandABox FPGA boxes generate the triggers and gates.
