Controls

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

P13 runs on EMBL Hamburg's own control domain, distinct from the DESY Tango / Sardana floor the other PETRA III beamlines (P01 / P06 / P11) bind to. The experiment-orchestration layer is MXCuBE (the macromolecular-crystallography beamline-control application, shared with i03 / FMX / MANACA / TPS), and the device floor underneath it is two protocols: the Exporter protocol on the microdiff host (p13md201.embl-hamburg.de:9001) for the diffractometer and its motions, and TINE channels (/P13/...) for the detector, energy, flux, and beam services. The handles are read from EMBL's public MXCuBE HardwareObjects configuration and carried confirm (CTRL-1). The rotation-MX acquisition (the goniometer oscillation coupled to the Eiger frame capture) runs as an MXCuBE data-collection routine; that orchestration is the seam CORA's edge would conduct over its ControlPort, the same shape as the MX cluster seams at i03 / MANACA / TPS 07A, here landing on the Exporter / TINE floor rather than Sardana (CTRL-2, SEAM-1).
