Supported Device List Amendment Process

ECS added a set of steps to our SDL curation page to give insight into how we would like other teams to work with us to add a new device to the list. We also plan to write up a process for how we'll go about changing an existing device's status. Please take a look at this process to learn about how you can get a device added to the list, and let us know what you think!

ECS Supported Devices Curation

ECS+ME SME Teams

ECS and ME are working on arranging subject matter experexpertise teams to collaborate on our system architectures and curation of our supported device lists. They will also work on engineering design templates, eg. how to specify and select mechatronic actuators, or arrange a vacuum system to use already existing and tested interlock logic. 

Validated Configuration Database

LCLS has never had a single-source-of-truth for beamline configuration , meaning (the arrangement and state of components in the beamline). This has led more than one incident where either equipment was added to the beamline without notification or proper planning leading to last minute mitigation. New projects Projects also suffer as an updated as-built of the beamline configuration is mythical. In some cases the beamline GUI is the best and only as-built reference.
