Discussion Items

Excerpt
  • Review and collectively understand the MEC-U operations vision/story and subsequently the requirements for the control systems
  • LCLS controls roadmap
  • EPICS focus discussion


  • Collect walk-ins
  • EPICS focus discussion
    • What kinds of things do you want to know?
    • LCLS is slated to deliver a control system seminar on EPICS in a few months.
  • LCLS controls roadmap
  • Review and collectively understand the MEC-U operations vision/story and subsequently the requirements for the control systems
    • For next time, I'd like each of us to pick something we think is important, critical, or should be a thing to focus on about the control system to share in this meeting.
      • Consider your experience in building control systems, and what you think needs to be a focus in MEC-U. 
      • These are all roughly paraphrased:
      • Kenneth Terzi
        • paraphrase: Interface designs, standards for how to design controls for new components for SLAC in the RRL
        • making sure the designs are extensible
      • Vinod Gopalan
        • how does python perform in our production environments
      • Jing Yin
        • building for long term support, maintainability
      • Barry Fishler
        • need to develop the conops to really make the functional requirements
      • Jessica Jimenez
        • agree with the conops, need to make sure the conops is 
      • Alex Wallace
        • test driven development, 
      • Jason Bender
        • interface definition between all the three control systems
          • "if I am working on the vacuum system, where should I interface with other vacuum systems? which layer of the stack?"
        • Data collection for the control system and science daq
      • Jana Thayer
        • Clean and clear interfaces, robustness and maintainability.
        • A good interface also provides a way to trace problems more accurately.
      • Robert Plummer
        • early conops definition → frs → arch specification
        • picking hardware that long-term-support
