Sample¶
The solution-sample positioning stack and the scanning-microbeam goniometer, and the HPLC delivery pump that feeds the solution flow cell.
Enclosure: lix-endstation.
Note
LIX runs two endstation modes, selected at startup. The solution mode positions a flow cell on a translation stack (the Manipulator); the scanning-microbeam mode rasters a cell or tissue sample on a SmarAct goniometer (Goniometer), with a rotation axis for tomography. The fast raster axes (scan.X / scan.Y) and the tomo rotation are Newport-XPS trajectory axes, the motion-controller seam (SCAN-1). The HPLC delivery pump that drives the solution and SEC-SAXS flow binds the catalog FlowController Family (graduated; presents Regulator, the i22 / 7-BM / LIX / XFP earn) (FLUID-1, FLOW-1). The selector valves, the SEC column, the flow cell, the sample robot, and the buffers are the fluidic-delivery seam and the Subject / Supply / Procedure shape, not devices here (see controls, FLUID-1, SEC-1, ROBOT-1).

SampleStage |
Manipulator |
XF:16IDC-ES:Scan{Ax:XC}Mtr |
the solution-mode positioning stack: a coarse x and a z pusher (EPICS), plus the fast scan x / y carried as Newport-XPS trajectory axes; reuses the graduated Manipulator Family; the flow cell it positions is the fluidic seam (SAMPLE-1, FLUID-1) | new confirm |
|
ScanningGoniometer |
Goniometer |
XF:16IDC-ES:Scan2-Gonio{Ax:sX}Mtr |
the scanning-microbeam goniometer (a SmarAct stack: sample x / z, tilt x / z, and a rotation RX), used for cell / tissue mapping and, with the XPS rot.rY trajectory axis, for micro-tomography; the raster scan x / y are XPS trajectory axes (SCAN-1) | new confirm |
|
DeliveryPump |
FlowController |
XF:16IDC-ES{HPLC}REGEN:FLOWRATE |
the HPLC sample-delivery pump driving the solution and SEC-SAXS flow (flowrate setpoint / readback, pressure, run / stop); the pcaspy soft-IOC XF:16IDC-ES{HPLC} fronts an Agilent quaternary pump (QUAT_PUMP:FLOWRATE, a .NET OpenLAB SDK on a Windows host) and a regeneration pump (REGEN:FLOWRATE, a raw TCP socket to a Moxa), both the same settable-flow anatomy and represented by this one Asset at this cut; reuses the graduated FlowController Family (presents Regulator, earned across i22 / 7-BM / LIX / XFP) (FLUID-1, FLOW-1) | new confirm |
