Inventory

The CORA Asset model for the operational core of i24 modelled today: the planned device tree and what still needs confirming.

This cut models the BL24I optics and the serial-crystallography endstation; the simulated devices and the GDA-side collection software are deferred (see Model). It is the cross-cutting reference view of the Source walk and the Sample and Detector pages, authored from the same beamline.yaml descriptor.

Devices bind to a catalog Family wherever one fits. i24, the first serial / fixed-target deployment, introduces no new Family: every device reuses existing catalog or loose vocabulary. The novelty is the serial-collection Capability and the fixed-target chip Fixture, both carried as questions (see Model). Control handles are filled from dodal; no vendor Models are bound.

The Asset tree

Root Asset I24 (tier = Unit, facility_code = diamond); sub-systems nest below by parent_id.

Asset Tier Family Enclosure Design spec / note
I24 Unit (root) - bound to the Diamond Site; sector 24
Synchrotron Device StorageRing (loose) - machine source state, observe-only (MACHINE-1)
Monochromator Device Monochromator i24-optics double-crystal monochromator (MONO-1)
FocusingMirrors Device Mirror i24-optics focusing mirrors with selectable mode (OPT-1)
Attenuator Device Filter i24-optics filter-based attenuator (ATTN-1)
Aperture Device Aperture i24-optics beam-defining aperture (OPT-2)
Goniometer Device Goniometer i24-experiment vertical pin goniometer; reuses the I03-graduated Family (GONIO-1)
ChipStage Device LinearStage i24-experiment fixed-target chip XYZ stage (dodal PMAC); chip-as-Fixture is CHIP-1, the raster seam is SSX-1
Backlight Device Backlight (loose) i24-experiment dual sample backlight; reused from I03 (BACKLIGHT-1)
OnAxisViewer Device Camera i24-experiment on-axis-view alignment camera + beam-centre (CTRL-1)
Beamstop Device BeamStop i24-experiment positioned beamstop (OPT-2)
SampleShutter Device Shutter i24-experiment fast Zebra-controlled sample shutter (SSX-1)
EigerDetector Device Camera i24-experiment Eiger area detector, production (DET-1)
JungfrauDetector Device Camera i24-experiment Jungfrau area detector, commissioning (DET-1)
DetectorStage Device LinearStage i24-experiment detector translation (Y/Z) (OPT-2)
Timing Device TimingController i24-experiment Zebra FPGA triggering of detector + shutter (SSX-1)
HutchShutter Device Shutter i24-optics interlocked hutch photon shutter (PSS-1)

Families reused from the catalog: Monochromator, Mirror, Filter, Aperture, Goniometer, LinearStage, Camera, BeamStop, Shutter, TimingController. Loose families reused from siblings: StorageRing, Backlight (both from the Diamond / APS fleet). No new family is coined, and the catalog is unchanged.
