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 "Imaging" (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
• UED EMCCD?
  • similar to an andor? 
  • to be implemented as a "pvaDetector"
• mfx jungfrau16M (a year)
  • also requires usb alvium support (for timetool plug-in) although opal could be used
  • epix100
  • fee spectrometer support (bld and full ioc image)
• (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
