Controls¶
The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS / bluesky.
SMI acquisition is gated by the endstation fast shutter; the Pilatus detectors run in software-triggered modes, with no separate hardware timing box in the profile collection. Controller box models / firmware are not fully in the profile collection (DRIVE-1).
