Sample

Diffractometer

The powder diffractometer (sample rotation + detector-arm angles) and the capillary spinner.

Enclosure: i11-experiment.

Note

The diffractometer is per-axis RotaryStage under a DiffractometerStage Assembly, NOT the Goniometer Family: theta is a single sample rotation and two_theta / delta are detector-arm angles, not an MX sample-orientation cradle (GONIO-1). Axis PVs to confirm (the dodal class was not read axis-by-axis) (DIFF-1).

Sample environment

The thermal sample environment and the sample-changing robot.

Enclosure: i11-experiment.

Note

The four thermal actuators carry the TemperatureController family. i11 was the rule-of-three (after i22 and i03) that earned graduating the Family AND a new settable-continuous-setpoint actuator Role. That Role was a code change (SEED_ROLES, drift-guarded) and core vocabulary, so it was routed to a SEPARATE gate-reviewed change rather than this scaffold (TEMP-1); that change has since landed, and TemperatureController is now a catalog Family presenting Regulator.
