The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS / bluesky.

XFM acquires XRF maps by rastering the UTS stage while counting the detectors against the SIS3820 scaler: step scans (bp.grid_scan) for point mapping, and a Maia continuous fly-scan (encoder-driven) for fast mapping. There is no separate hardware timing box in the profile collection; the scaler does the dwell / counting and the Maia uses its own encoder feedback. Controller box models are not in source (DRIVE-1).
