Generated from the descriptor

This page is generated from the descriptor at deployments/manaca/beamline.yaml. Edit the descriptor, not this page.

The device families are inferred from public facility pages and papers; no control handles or vendor models are public, so every value is carried confirm until staff verify it. Source: lnls.cnpem.br facility page.

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
manaca-optics optics-hutch sirius confirm: Sirius PSS permit leaf not published per beamline (PSS-1, ENC-1)
manaca-experiment experiment-hutch sirius confirm: Sirius PSS permit leaf not published; the experiment hutch carries the goniometer, the detector, and the sample changer (PSS-1, ENC-1)

The beamline

Sirius's first macromolecular-crystallography beamline: rotation MX on a goniometer and area detector with a 48-pin sample changer, reusing the fleet MX vocabulary on the Sirius EPICS floor.

  • Source: the beam, produced and conditioned before the sample.
  • Sample: the sample environment and its positioning.
  • Detector: what records the beam after the sample.
  • Controls: the control plane CORA's edge conducts over.

Not yet documented

This beamline has no Operations runbook and no live Experiment view, because CORA does not drive it yet. Both pages describe what an operator does with a running system, so writing them for a beamline CORA only models would be invention rather than documentation. The pilot at 2-BM carries both, and shows the shape they take once a deployment goes live.
