XFP

X-ray footprinting of biological macromolecules in solution (white/pink-beam radiolytic dose delivery, offline mass-spec readout), 17-BM; the fleet's first dose-delivery beamline (no scattering detector); modelled from public beamline config.

Property Value
Facility NSLS-II (EPICS / bluesky)
Sector 17-BM
Source bending-magnet
Modelled reverse-engineered, full coverage

Generated from the descriptor

This page is generated from the descriptor at deployments/xfp/beamline.yaml. Edit the descriptor, not this page.

The device handles are read from the facility's public controls configuration and verified against it; vendor parts, energies, and physical positions are not in it and are carried confirm until beamline staff verify them. Source: NSLS2/xfp-profile-collection.

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
xfp-optics optics-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf not fully in the profile collection; only the front-end photon-shutter enable status (XF:17BM-PPS{Sh:FE} enabled_status) is read; the optics zone (FE:C17B, XF:17BM-OP / XF:17BMA-OP), the hutch grouping is ENC-1 (PSS-1)
xfp-endstation experiment-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; the footprinting endstations (XF:17BMA-ES:1, ES:2); the monochromatic XAS endstation ES:3 is out of scope (ENC-1, PSS-1, WHITE-1)

The beamline

A dose-delivery beamline, not a measurement one: no imaging detector; it delivers a controlled radiolytic dose to a solution sample, the structural readout done offline by mass spectrometry.

  • Source: the beam, produced and conditioned before the sample.
  • Sample: the sample environment and its positioning.
  • Detector: what records the beam after the sample.
  • Controls: the control plane CORA's edge conducts over.

Not yet documented

This beamline has no Operations runbook and no live Experiment view, because CORA does not drive it yet. Both pages describe what an operator does with a running system, so writing them for a beamline CORA only models would be invention rather than documentation. The pilot at 2-BM carries both, and shows the shape they take once a deployment goes live.
