Controls

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

P24 runs on the PETRA III control system, Tango with Sardana as the scan / motion SCADA layer, the same floor as the other PETRA III beamlines. A motion axis is a Tango motor device (p24/motor/...), the coupled axes vmexecutor virtual axes; the fluorescence detectors are mca devices. The handles are read from P24's public OnlineXML registry and carried confirm (CTRL-1). The chemical-crystallography acquisition (the diffractometer scan coupled to the area-detector frame capture) runs as a Sardana macro; that orchestration is the seam CORA's edge would conduct over its ControlPort (CTRL-2).
