•  Lucretia Bmad model server conversion
  •  python PVA service
  •  matlab interface class GUI conversion?

Lattice files for Brad already exist. Current high-level goals are:

• Establish agreement with Lucretia (S2E et al)
• Implement interface to live machine parameters (Buschmann)
• Add Bmad model to python PVA server
• (TBD) Convert GUIs
  • Depends on tao→matlab compatibility
  • alternative: PyTao would let us rejoin the LCLS shared application ecosystem in some areas (emittance GUI, wires)

•  Lucretia model server conversion
  •  python PVA service
  •  matlab interface class
  •  GUI conversion

• 1/12/24: demo PVA server works, writing live/design Rs and twiss params, but matlab pvaGet not working yet. next step: document lucretia dependencies across matlabTNG to determine what the matlab interface needs to do
• 1/23/24: matlab PVA access works with a python workaround (good enough for now, likely need a better long-term solution) Cesar prepped draft interface design document. reviewed high-priority GUI model uses. 
• 2/8/24: PVA server is running but not deployed to prod yet. Drafting implementation of matlab class F2_ModelReceiver - once the lucretia functions GetRmats, RmatAtoB and GetTwiss are replicated we can proceed to test GUIs. Need to check w/ controls deputes to get some watcher PVs set up
• 3/12/24: draft version of receiver on GitHub, testing for correctness and use by GUI controllers
• 4/9/24: F2_ModelReceiver 0.1 version is ready for deployment, unfortunately the python models service has some errors in it, but the mechanics of the interface are mostly stable
• 4/18/24: live model is currently starting from the gun, which produces very

• 4/18/24: live model is currently starting from the gun, which produces very unrealistic twiss parameters. Need to start sim downstream at some treaty point
  • live model GUI gets marginally more realistic outputs starting from L0BFBEG, one option...
  • more realistic: take the latest PR10571 emittance measurement, back propagate to initial twiss at L0AFBEG – there are some kind of hooks in place for this already. but I'm not 100% on if they ever worked...

•  LEM server + watcher conversion

Waiting on model server deployment

• 3/13/24: current plan is to deploy a second PVA server that writes LEM EREF/EACT/BDES etc to an NTTTable, then the ModelReceiver can be updated in-kind to provide those quantities
  • python PVA will make it straightforward to build a LEM CUDa LEM CUD

•  Add quad scan emittance measurement function (for L0)

•  RTBSA for FACET-II
  •  python class for streaming BSA data
  •  python class for real-time BSA time series & correlation plots
  •  GUI

• 07/05/2024: Developed proof-of-concept GUI using lcls BSA PVs - works for us as well since our BSA encodes pulse IDs the same way. Corr plot with fitting, time series and FFT are all working.
  • still need to optimize syncing for network performance
  • likely can replace the current RTBSA GUI for lcls as well

•  New Phase scan GUI
  •  L0 phase scan automation

rudimentary functionality, needs with-beam test

update 05/06/24: tested with beam L0, L1 and L2-3 are working, deployment soon...

•  Add quad scan emittance measurement function (for L0)
