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.

Property Value
Facility nsls2
Sector 17-BM
Tier Unit
Source bending-magnet (confirm: 17-BM is a bending-magnet source (the name and the white-beam footprinting design imply it), but the profile collection exposes no source / dipole device, only the ring-current PV SR:OPS-BI{DCCT:1}I:Real-I. Source identity is SRC-1)

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)

Machine

The machine-level source state, observed not driven.

Enclosure: xfp-optics.

Note

Observe-only NSLS-II machine state, the loose StorageRing pattern reused from the NSLS-II siblings. 17-BM is a bending-magnet source, not an insertion device, so no InsertionDevice Asset (SRC-1, MACHINE-1).

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
StorageRing StorageRing SR:OPS-BI{DCCT:1}I:Real-I NSLS-II storage-ring current, read as a beam-present suspender input; observe-only; the rest of the ring state is MACHINE-1; the 17-BM bending-magnet source detail is SRC-1 new confirm

Optics

The white / pink beam optics: the bendable front-end mirror, the white-beam and beam-defining slits, and the dose-rate filter wheel. There is no monochromator in the footprinting path.

Enclosure: xfp-optics.

Note

The footprinting beam is white / pink: the bendable mirror sets the cutoff and binds Mirror; the slits bind Slit; the eight-position Al filter wheel binds Filter (it sets the dose rate, with the pinhole apertures as a further attenuator, ATTN-1). The only monochromator in the source is a separate XAS endstation (ES:3), out of scope for footprinting (WHITE-1). Everything here reuses the catalog and coins nothing.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
FrontEndMirror Mirror XF:17BM-OP{Mir:1-Ax:P}Mtr the bendable front-end mirror (horizontal / lift / pitch / yaw / roll plus a Bend focus axis and thermocouples) that takes the heat load and sets the high-energy cutoff of the white beam; coating and bend are OPT-1 new confirm
WhiteBeamSlit Slit FE:C17B-OP{Slt:1-Ax:T}Mtr the front-end white-beam slit (T / B / I / O blades with virtual size / center); defines the white-beam footprint (OPT-2) new confirm
DefiningSlit Slit XF:17BMA-OP{Slt:ADC-Ax:XGap}Mtr the ADC beam-defining slit; its horizontal gap (adcslits.xgap) sets the exposure window for the shutterless high-throughput fly mode (the PB / PDS white-beam slit shares the same anatomy); OPT-2, HT-1 new confirm
FilterWheel Filter XF:17BMA-ES:1{Fltr:1-Ax:Rot}Mtr the eight-position rotary aluminium filter wheel (0 / 25 / 76 / 152 / 203 / 305 / 508 / 762 um Al) that attenuates the white beam to set the dose RATE; a beam-defining pinhole stage and a 0-9 mm Al z-attenuator are further, intermittently-connected attenuators (ATTN-1) new confirm

Dose

The dose-delivery gating: the personnel and timed exposure shutters, and the delay generator that fires the millisecond fast shutter. Exposure time times flux times attenuation is the delivered dose.

Enclosure: xfp-optics.

Note

Footprinting dose is delivered by gating the white beam onto the sample. The personnel-protection and timed exposure shutters bind Shutter; the delay generator that fires the millisecond Uniblitz fast shutter binds TimingController (its opening-time setpoint is the dose time). Seconds-scale exposures are software-timed on the pre-shutter; millisecond exposures use the delay-generator-fired Uniblitz, or in the high-throughput fly mode the stage velocity through the defining slit sets the exposure (DOSE-1, HT-1).

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
PhotonShutter Shutter XF:17BM-PPS{Sh:FE} the personnel-protection front-end photon shutter; its enabled-status leaf is interlock-gated (plans refuse to open it when disabled); the rest of the PSS search-and-secure leaves are PSS-1 new confirm
DoseShutter Shutter XF:17BMA-EPS{Sh:1} the equipment-protection pre-shutter, the workhorse timed-exposure shutter for seconds-scale dose (open, software-timed sleep, close); a separate inner DIODE sample shutter (XF:17BMA-CT{DIODE-Local:1}...) protects the sample (DOSE-1) new confirm
DoseTimer TimingController XF:17BMA-ES:2{DG:1} the DG535 delay generator that fires the millisecond Uniblitz fast shutter: a settable opening-time (bDelaySetAO, the source's exp_time, the dose time), a trigger mode, and a single-shot fire (genSingleShotTrigBO); the Uniblitz itself has no EPICS PV and is driven downstream of this timer (DOSE-1) new confirm
