-Ongoing list of things needed:
-
-1. Solution for enabling users to run mx-bluesky instead of old scripts:
- blocked by permission issues. Preferred solution would be run on
- beamline kubernetes cluster - in the meantime also loooking into
- procserv as a possibility. (Fixing this should also allow us to stop
- using the Pilatus to make directories during an Eiger collection.)
- Temporary workaround in place for beamline staff, who should be
- starting to run this for testing/in house beamtimes.
-2. Convert detector set up to use bluesky plans and ophyd_async devices.
- Investigate using the existing Pilatus in ophyd_async which writes
- HDF5 instead of CBFs (may want to make a CBF-writing Pilatus).
-3. Start looking into moving away from edm screens towards a web-based
- GUI.
-4. Improve alignment of chip: get it to work correctly for multiple
+Ongoing list of TODOs:
+
+1. Improve alignment of chip: get it to work correctly for multiple
  zooms.
+ - Close to being completed (see issue #44)
+2. Refactor and fix the logger.
+3. Solution for enabling users to run mx-bluesky instead of old scripts:
+ blocked by permission issues.
+ - This should also allow us to stop using the Pilatus to make directories
+ during an Eiger collection.
+ - The preferred permanent solution is to run mx-bluesky on the
+ beamline kubernetes cluster - I24 should be due to get on in 
+ shutdown 4 2024.
+ - Other possibility is to run the ```blueapi`` server on procServ. An
+ example of this has now been set up on ws002 on the beamline and 
+ is being tested.
+ - A temporary workaround in place for beamline staff, who should be
+ starting to run this for testing/in house beamtimes. Staff have started
+ using this set up in September 24.
+4. Convert detector set up to use bluesky plans and ophyd_async devices.
+ - Eiger device in dodal needs to be converted to ophyd_async and updated
+ to work with different Eigers on several beamlines.
+ - Investigate using the existing Pilatus in ophyd_async which writes
+ HDF5 instead of CBFs, but we may want to make a CBF-writing Pilatus.
+ However, the Pilatus detector is due to be removed soon.
+5. Start looking into moving away from edm screens towards a web-based
+ GUI.

+Experiment types required
+=========================
+
+- Extruder
+
+ - Standard
+ - Pump probe
+
+- Fixed target (probably about 80-85% of serial on I24)
+
+ - Standard chip collection – option for multiple exposures in each
+ spot
+ - Pump probe - see for short description
+ https://confluence.diamond.ac.uk/display/MXTech/Dynamics+and+fixed+targets
+
+ - Short delays
+ - Excite and visit again
+ - Long delays with fast shutter opening/closing
+
+- (Future) Fixed target with rotation at each “window” (Preliminary
+ work done by beamline staff on the PMAC program
+ https://confluence.diamond.ac.uk/display/MXTech/Grids+with+rotations)
+
+Details of zebra settings for each type:
+https://confluence.diamond.ac.uk/display/MXTech/Zebra+settings+I24
+
+Note that most of the set up for the fixed target is actually done by
+the PMAC via PMAC strings.
