- In NIF there is a startup configuration
- Active setpoint. Constantly changes.
- What are the qualities that we want in these setpoints:
- Named sets of configurations
- Need to know if the readbacks match up
- Q: What is the threshold of comparison between the readback and setpoint?
- List of PVs and their values
- Q: Does autosave and restore really need to be apart of this tool?
- Maybe not
- Most of HE-LP laser device react quickly, but do not require time critical moves.
- They do have time critical items for stopping a shot (This item is more of an MPS topic).
- Same for RRL.
- They do have time critical items for stopping a shot (This item is more of an MPS topic).
- Storing data: We have not settled on database/configuration store.
- SCORE:
- Article regarding score
- LCLS implementation of SCORE
- Java application with relation database (probably Oracle)
- Elements in tool:
- Setpoints names (PVs, not groups of elements).
- Values
- Readback Values
- SCORE is not something that LCLS wants to use because it's so different from what we currently have. Ken proposes we move this behind us.
- Ken's understanding that the SCORE application is an apply and verify.
- Pheobus: Save-And-Restore
- Takes snapshots of predefined list of PVs at a certain point in time and writes them back.
- May support Oracle.
- Ken's opinion it is the most advance.
- ECS tend to move away from control studio so we don't use Pheobus.
- PyDM:
- Are we putting configuration tool at this GUI layer
- Up for discussion
- Are we putting configuration tool at this GUI layer
- We should capture and record the functionality and requirements in the system in Jama.
- Input LLNL requirements into Jama Barry Fishler
