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
- June 6, 2024
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?
- identical to andor iXon listed below with existing timestamping IOC?
- if so can be implemented as a "pvaDetector"
- mfx jungfrau16M (a year)
- mfx usb alvium support (for timetool plug-in) although opal could be used
- mfx epix100
- mfx 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, to first order, but awaiting TID improvements) 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
