Controls

The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: BLISS / Beacon / Tango / IcePAP.

ID16B runs on the ESRF BLISS control system, Tango-based, NOT EPICS, the same floor as ID19. A motion stage is a BLISS axis (driven by IcePAP racks iceid162 / iceid164, PI piezo vscanners, and etel Tango motors); a fluorescence detector is a MOSCA / FalconX Tango device; an area detector is a Lima device server (id16na/limaccds/); the monochromator is the Kohzu DCM controller. The handles here are read from ID16B's public Beacon config and carried confirm (CTRL-1). Nano-tomography and nano-XRF run as BLISS scan procedures (the daiquiri_tomo and daiquiri_fluo sessions); that orchestration is the seam CORA's edge would conduct over its ControlPort, with the reconstruction (tomo volume) and the XRF map fitting being ComputePort work, not beamline devices (TECH-1, CTRL-2).
