Model

The developer's by-kind index: where each CORA aggregate's SMI content lives. It hosts no content of its own. Design-phase scaffold.

For the aggregate shapes see the architecture model and the per-BC modules.

Aggregate (BC) Where at SMI
Asset (Equipment) Inventory (in this zone)
Computed / virtual axes (Equipment) Inventory (EnergyAxis)
Capability, Method (Recipe) Techniques
Enclosure (Enclosure) The beamline (12-ID-A optics, 12-ID-C experiment)
Zone, Conduit, Policy (Trust); Actor (Access) Governance
Procedure, Recipe, Caution, Supply, Subject, Run, Campaign, Dataset, Decision deferred (design-phase; see below)

Deliberately not here yet

This is a design-phase scaffold (descriptor + docs), mirroring the other NSLS-II and Diamond beamlines. Left out on purpose:

  • No new Family. SMI is a reuse-and-reinforce deployment, the NSLS-II twin of Diamond i22 (SAXS / WAXS): the Pilatus detectors bind Camera, the flux monitor FluxMonitor, the sample environment TemperatureController, the fluorescence MCA EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer, the beamstops BeamStop, the mirrors Mirror, the monochromator Monochromator, the slits Slit, the attenuators Filter, and the compound-refractive-lens Transfocator, which reuses the graduated Transfocator catalog Family (a CRL focusing optic, distinct from Mirror / ZonePlate / Condenser, bound at 4-ID, 8-ID, 9-ID, i22, and CHX too); the residual open item is the per-Asset lens material and count (CRL-1), which graduation does not resolve.
  • The held loose family. One device binds a loose family that other deployments also use and that is held for gate-review: the BeamPositionMonitor (4-ID, 8-ID, 9-ID), which stays loose pending the sensor fold-vs-promote decision (DIAG-1), recorded in the promotion-review register.
  • No new Capability or Method. SAXS, WAXS, and GISAXS sit on the deferred scattering Capabilities Diamond i22 left pending (TECH-1); SMI reinforces them without coining any, and records no Practice. Grazing incidence is a sample-orientation variant, not a new Capability; simultaneous SAXS+WAXS is coordinated Runs, not a combined technique. The integration and reduction are ComputePort work.
  • The in-situ soft-matter cells. The humidity cell (driven via Moxa analog IO, relative humidity computed in software) and the blade coater (a SmarAct stage plus a syringe pump) are SMI's specialty; they would each need their own family or Procedure decision, so they are deferred to a named question (INSITU-1) rather than modelled.
  • The in-vacuum WAXS / SAXS chamber. The active sample chamber (pressure gauges, gate valves, turbo pump, pump / vent automation) is carried as the facility Vacuum Supply, the i22 precedent; whether the active chamber enters CORA as its own device is the named question VAC-1.
  • Operations and experiment views, integration scenarios, vendor Models. A runbook and registered Assets for a beamline CORA does not yet drive would be invention; they land when the design firms and the team confirms. The 2-BM Model page shows the shape a fully-modelled deployment carries.
