Inventory

The CORA Asset model for the operational core of SIX modelled today: the planned device tree and what still needs confirming.

This cut models the XF:02IDA/B/C optics and the XF:02IDD-ES RIXS endstation; the legacy end-station PGM and the simulated devices are deferred (see Model). It is the cross-cutting reference view of the Source walk and the Sample and Detector pages, authored from the same beamline.yaml descriptor.

Devices bind to a catalog Family wherever one fits. SIX, as the first soft X-ray beamline, introduces three device classes no existing Family covers: they bind loose families held at n=1 and graduate nothing (see Model). Control handles are filled from the profile collection; no vendor Models are bound.

The Asset tree

Root Asset SIX (tier = Unit, facility_code = nsls2); sub-systems nest below by parent_id.

RIXSSpectrometer Device SpectrometerArm (loose) 2-ID-D energy-dispersive RIXS arm, 3 chambers (RIXS-1)
RIXSCamera Device Camera 2-ID-D photon-counting RIXS camera (RIXS-2, DET-1)
DetectorSlit Device Slit 2-ID-D detector-chamber slit (OPT-2)
Scaler / Electrometer Device FluxMonitor 2-ID-D counting scaler + Femto electrometer (DET-1)

Families reused from the catalog: InsertionDevice, Mirror, Slit, Shutter, GenericProbe, Aperture, LinearStage, TemperatureController, Camera, FluxMonitor, GratingMonochromator (graduated once CSX earned the soft X-ray PGM), and Manipulator (graduated once ESM earned the UHV sample manipulator). Held loose at n=1 (SIX only, graduate nothing): SpectrometerArm.
