Welcome to the Hard X-Ray Split and Delay Automated Controls System!

https://travis-ci.org/pcdshub/hxrsnd.svg?branch=master https://landscape.io/github/pcdshub/hxrsnd/master/landscape.svg?style=flat

Controls automation module for the hard x-ray split and delay instrument.

Getting Started

The easiest way to start using the hard x-ray split and delay is to navigate to the released area which has everything setup. From any of the LCLS NFS machines that can view XCS PVs, run the following to change to the correct directory:

$ cd /reg/neh/operator/xcsopr/bin/snd

From here, all the core functionality of the split and delay system can be accessed.

Running the IPython Shell

The most common used way to interface with the system is through the IPython shell. From the top level SnD directory listed above, run the following launcher script:

$ ./run_snd

The shell will have all the SnD objects instantiated and ready for use.

Note

This is a softlink to the launcher script which lives in bin/

Instrument Screens

There is a system level EDM screen that has all the motors and pneumatics. To launch the screen, run the following launcher sript from the directory listed above:

$ ./snd_main

Note

This is a softlink to the launcher script which lives in hxrsnd/screens/

To view diode correlation plots, run the following launcher script from the directory listed above:

$ ./show_diodes.sh
