Priorities

DAQ integration priority order determined together with Sebastien Boutet and hutch scientists

Protocols that are easier for DAQ:

  • cameralink
  • coaxpress over fiber
  • anything low-rate (<=100Hz) where it's easy to make an IOC for it (e.g with a company SDK kit we already support, like andor or alvium)
    • anything with an existing IOC that supports LCLS2-timing is "free"

Meeting dates:

  • Nov. 20, 2023 with Sebastien/James/Georgi
  • Mar. 20, 2024 with Georgi/Kristjan/Dan/Chris/Dougie/DJ/Lingjia

NOTE: Any camera that is implemented as an IOC should submit a Jira ticket for the controls group with "component" set to "Vision" or "Camera" (ECS Supported Devices Curation) to make sure functionality is not being duplicated.  See approved list of controls-detectors here (https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=326510196#SupportedDevices(SDL)-Addingadevice).

Detectors in priority order.  Implementation order will also be affected by available expertise and how long the integration project will take.

  • (almost complete) rixccd (archon)
    • needs new timestamping firmware
  • (almost complete) superconducting phase-cavity BLD
    • (close)
  • ebeam BLD 
  • (cancelled) small txi epixHR (beginning of 2025)
  • (complete) rix high-rate mono-encoder
  • UED 1080Hz epix
  • mfx jungfrau16M (a year)
  • (standalone running complete) tmo tixel
    • magnetic bottle expts could use existing detector
    • would be nice to replace a dream delay-line-detector with tixel? need a larger one. not obligated to users
    • higher priority than big txi epixHR
    • could replace k-microscope delay-line detector
  • rix axis sxr-60 camera (chemrix spectrometer)
    • smaller pixel than epix
    • can't use andor: flange-mount makes grazing-incidence difficult
    • could happen before "the shutdown" (at slac end of july 2024)
    • commissioned in run 23 (oct 2024 through feb 2025)
    • highest priority for new instrument for rixs experiments
    • plan is to implement as an IOC (who? dan? if tid could do it that would be great)
  • big txi epixHR (big one delayed until aug 2025)
  • (done) rix epixM (depends on approved experiments)
  • rix k-microscope delay-line-detector (depends on approved experiments)
    • cpo estimates 3 more months of FTE effort to integrate 
    • should we use the dream dld or perhaps tixel instead?
    • local contact person: Jake Koralek
    • priority depends on conclusions of workshop in March 2024
    • perhaps users in spring 2025
  • epixUHR (testing and in XPP, production not until late 2026)
    • Riccardo Melchiorri is working on this
  • opal replacement (waiting on decision from scientists: see Opal Replacement)
  • ued andor ixon (the camera used in the old daq? but maybe not)
    • maybe an IOC because of long integration times
    • might not be too bad if it's an andor
    • get more information
  • No labels
