Model

The developer's by-kind index: where each CORA aggregate's XFM 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.

What this deployment graduates: nothing

XFM is a clean pure-reuse scanning-XRF deployment, the second after 2-ID. It coins no Family and graduates nothing: the multi-element silicon-drift fluorescence detectors (the Xspress3 and the Maia) reuse EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer (graduated when 2-ID and 7-BM shared it), the raster stage reuses LinearStage, the scaler I0 channels reuse FluxMonitor (graduated in #353), the bending-magnet source binds the loose Beam PhotonBeam supply (the 2-BM / BMM precedent), and the monochromator / focusing optic / slits bind the catalog Monochromator / Mirror / Slit. The scanning XRF technique reuses the scanning_fluorescence_microscopy Method 2-ID left pending: XFM is its second consumer, which strengthens but does not coin it.

Deliberately not here yet

This is a design-phase scaffold (descriptor + docs), mirroring 2-ID / SRX and the other NSLS-II beamlines. Left out on purpose:

  • No catalog change. XFM graduates nothing and coins nothing. scanning_fluorescence_microscopy stays pending (2-ID + XFM = 2 consumers; Methods have no mechanical promotion, the energy_scan deferral discipline; METHOD-1). XANES microspectroscopy leans on the deferred energy_scan Capability (ENERGY-1), no practice recorded.
  • The endstation-only profile. The public profile collection exposes only the raster stage, the Xspress3, the scaler, and the Maia (in a bypass file). The bending-magnet source, the monochromator, the focusing optic, and the shutters are not in the profile, so they are carried confirm-only with no PV (no fabricated PVs; PROFILE-1). The model is honest about being thin: it asserts the device classes a BM XRF / XANES microprobe must have, with their handles pending the team.
  • The Maia detector. XFM's signature fast continuous-mapping array (XFM:MAIA) is read from the bypass profile (rvt/bypass40-maia.py), not the active startup; it is modelled as a second EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer Asset and flagged (MAIA-1).
  • XRF-tomography. Out of scope: the profile exposes an X/Y/Z raster stage but no rotation axis, so the raster-x-rotation XRF-tomography (the SRX shape) is not modelled (TECH-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.
