Open questions

What CORA needs the SRX team to confirm. This model is reverse-engineered from public open source (the NSLS2/srx-profile-collection profile collection): the EPICS PVs are read from it, but vendor identities, physical positions, and the detector/endstation configuration are not. Each row is a fact the beamline team owns. It is a delete-on-answer queue.

Priorities: Blocks-build, Blocks-go-live, Nice-to-have.

Source and safety

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
SRC-1 Nice-to-have IVU21 undulator period, gap range, and harmonic usage. The device (SR:C5-ID:G1{IVU21:1}) is confirmed. An in-vacuum undulator, identity-only. The InsertionDevice settings.
PSS-1 Blocks-go-live The PSS search-and-secure permit-leaf PVs. Only the shutters (XF:05ID-PPS{Sh:WB}, 05IDA-PPS:1{PSh:2}, 05IDB-PPS:1{PSh:4}) are in source. The permit signal is a confirm note, not a guessed PV. The Enclosure permit signals.
ENC-1 Nice-to-have The hutch layout: which PV zones (05IDA optics, 05IDB micro endstation, 05IDD nano endstation) are distinct enclosures? Two enclosures, optics + experiment (nano). The Enclosure set and roles.

Optics and sample

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
DCM-1 Nice-to-have The HDCM crystal cut and energy range. High-heat-load DCM, range blank. The Monochromator settings.
STAGE-1 Blocks-go-live The XRF-tomography sample rotation hardware, encoder resolution, and max speed. A RotaryStage, specs blank. The SampleRotary settings.
ENDSTATION-1 Nice-to-have The micro endstation (05IDB): is it a distinct sample stack from the nano endstation modelled here, and how are the two selected? The nano (KB) endstation is modelled; the micro endstation is noted, deferred. The micro-endstation Assets.

Detectors and controls

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
DET-1 Blocks-go-live The Xspress3 fluorescence detector element count and vendor. One EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer Asset presenting the Sensor Role; specs blank. The detector Model and element count.
CAM-1 Blocks-go-live Which pixel/area detectors are live vs legacy? Source has Merlin, Dexela, Eiger 1M, a PCO imaging camera, and legacy detectors. Merlin/Dexela/Eiger/PCO modelled as Cameras; legacy excluded. The detector roster and per-technique detector slot.
DIAG-1 Nice-to-have The scaler / ion-chamber flux channel map (which channel is I0). Read-only flux counters (FluxMonitor), channel map blank. The FluxCounter bindings.
DRIVE-1 Blocks-go-live The motion-controller box models, firmware, IPs. Families bound (MotionController), specifics blank. The MotionController Models.
ENERGY-1 Nice-to-have Does SRX's XANES sweep warrant the energy_scan Capability the catalog anticipates (shared with BMM), or stay under characterization? XANES mapped to existing Capabilities; energy_scan deferred (the BMM question). The spectroscopy Capability decision.
