Controls

The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS / dodal.

i24 runs on the Diamond EPICS / ophyd-async control stack, the same floor as the other Diamond beamlines. The device handles above are bound from dodal, carried confirm pending staff verification (CTRL-1). The serial collection (the PMAC chip-raster motion program, the encoder position-compare, the laser triggers, the Zebra TTL gating of the detector and fast shutter) is the orchestration CORA's edge replaces, driving through ophyd / EPICS; the OAV zoom and beam-centre config and the detector file-writing to the Diamond filestore are plumbing CORA observes, not data it owns (see model.md).
