Source

The incident beam, produced, conditioned, and defined before the sample. A walk along the source-stage devices; the sample and detection stages are documented as their own composed-fixture pages, the controllers that drive these devices are on the Controls page, and the supplies they draw on are in Operations. Each device pairs its human name with the EPICS handle, its key specs, and whether it is field replaceable. new marks a device not yet modeled in CORA; confirm marks a value taken from the docs that staff have not yet verified.

SoftUndulator InsertionDevice SR:C07-ID:G1A{SST1:1} EPU60 elliptically-polarizing undulator feeding the soft branch (SST-1; gap SR:C07-ID:G1A{SST1:1-Ax:Gap}-Mtr, phase and polarization mode controls). Soft energy range about 71-2250 eV. From the sst-base energy/soft.py classes (SRC-1). confirm
TenderUndulator InsertionDevice SR:C07-ID:G1A{SST2:1} U42 undulator feeding the tender branch (SST-2; gap SR:C07-ID:G1A{SST2:1-Ax:Gap}-Mtr). From the sst-base energy/tender.py classes (SRC-1). confirm
FrontEndShutter Shutter XF:07ID-PPS{Sh:FE} Front-end photon shutter; downstream photon shutters gate the branches at XF:07IDA-PPS{PSh:n}. confirm

Optics

Condition each branch and set its energy: the soft plane-grating monochromator, the tender double-crystal monochromator, the first and per-branch mirrors, and the white-beam and exit slits. PVs verified against the sst-base energy classes and the endstation TOML device manifests.

SoftMonochromator GratingMonochromator XF:07ID1-OP{Mono:PGM1-Ax: Soft-branch plane-grating monochromator (PGM1; grating, mirror-2, grating-X, CFF and VLS controls, energy XF:07ID1-OP{Mono:PGM1-Ax::ENERGY_SP). Reuses GratingMonochromator (graduated across SIX / CSX / ESM); a fourth sighting. Grating set pending (DCM-1). confirm
TenderMonochromator Monochromator XF:07ID6-OP{Mono:DCM1-Ax: Tender-branch double-crystal monochromator (DCM1; Bragg, crystal-select, energy XF:07ID6-OP{Mono:DCM1-Ax::ENERGY_SP). Reuses the Monochromator (crystal Bragg) family. Crystal cut and range pending (DCM-1). confirm

SoftMirror Mirror XF:07ID1-OP{Mir:M3ABC Soft-branch focusing / steering mirror (M3ABC; M4 / M5 mirrors sit downstream per endstation). Reuses the Mirror family. confirm
TenderMirror Mirror XF:07IDA-OP{Mir:L1 Tender-branch mirror (L1; an L2AB mirror with a wedge sits downstream). Reuses the Mirror family. confirm
WhiteBeamSlit Slit XF:07IDA-OP{Slt:01-Ax: Front-end / FOE beam-defining slit. confirm

HAXPESSlit Slit XF:07ID2-OP{Slt:12-Ax: Beam-defining slit for the tender HAXPES endstation (haxslt / eslit). Reuses the Slit family. confirm
EnergyAxis PseudoAxis The master energy axis: a coupled pseudopositioner per branch. The soft branch co-moves the EPU60 gap / phase with the PGM (range about 71-2250 eV); the tender branch co-moves the U42 gap with the DCM. The active branch is selected by the endstation in control. Whether energy is scanned as the measurement is the NEXAFS / spectroscopy question (ENERGY-1). confirm
BeamPositionMonitor BeamPositionMonitor XF:07ID-BI{BPM:4} Beam-position monitors and fluorescent-screen / diode diagnostics along the branches (BPM:4 centroid, plus FS / SlitC screen cameras). Binds the loose BeamPositionMonitor family that 4-ID / 8-ID / 9-ID also use (held; DIAG-1). confirm
