Introduction

May was filled to the brim with beamtime, and HE is starting to heat up.

PMPS V2.0.0 on the K-line

  • PMPS V2.0.0 is now installed on all the K line PLCs , TMO and RIX hutches.
  • Same as V1.0.0 on the L line, the eV ranges has been expanded to 32 bits instead of 16.
  • The way transmission can be captured has now been changed. It's no longer a percentage. A decimal points are now accepted, with value of 1 indicating full transmission.
  • In the Preemptive requests tab, the device names are now displayed along with the hex code request ID.
  • And finally, no more milliseconds duration to enter for the bypass duration. Fast fault duration is determined by an "expiration" end date and time. 
    1. You can either select or enter the desired expiration in the calendar widget.
    2. Press enter. Now you can see the date in the bypass end readback.
    3. Click on activate. Now you will see the current date and time in the bypass start readback.

Hutch Python

  • The LCLS-II DAQ is now controllable via hutch python. This has been deployed in RIX and TMO.
  • The RIX hutch python has been outfitted with a mono grating/vernier scanning plan.


FEE Imager Camera Debug Page

We've added a helpful page for debugging FEE Camera issues. Check it out: FEE Imager Camera Debug


RIX Optics

Three mirrors in the RIX hutch took beam for the first time this month: MR2K2: 3 axis Flat mirror, MR3K2 & MR4K2: 5 axis KBO focusing mirrors. MR2K2 was installed on the beam line and taking beam in less than 2 weeks?! 


camViewer

A new feature was added to the camViewer script by Spencer, Aalayah I which allows a user to enable or disable a camera ioc by running the script with new arguments:

camViewer -c <camviewer name> -e  enables the ioc

camViewer -c <camviewer name> -d  disables the ioc


ioctool

A new script written by Spencer, Aalayah I that allows one to find information about and useful directories associated with an ioc:

usage: ioctool <ioc>|<pv> [option]
Script that returns information about an ioc given its name or a PV it hosts
default option is 'name', list of options:
name : returns the name of the ioc
dir : returns the directory the ioc is running from
cddir : open the directory the ioc is running from (start with "source" before calling script with this option)
cfg : returns the file name of the ioc .cfg (or st.cmd)
less : opens the ioc .cfg (or st.cmd) in less
data : returns the path of the appropriate iocData directory if it exists
telnet : starts a telnet session with the ioc
