Notes from Tom’s visit

1. Notes from Tom’s visit • Controls is under-staffed • Common Diagnostics platforms (BPM, FCT, DCCT, BLM,…) • Where possible, ‘Smart’ Diagnostics, running EPICS locally • Define Controls/Diagnostics interfaces ASAP • AP identifies machine and beam modes • AP and Diagnostics collaborate on PVs • Write down ‘global naming convention’ • Modes communicated via EPICS on 1 Hz event • Clear statement of MPS requirements for commissioning • ‘Simple’ timing system appears feasible • Single camera for all imaging applications • Prioritize Diagnostics • Generate Systems Brochures/Interface Control Documents • Collaborations – LLRF, NSLS-II, … • Controls and Diagnostics reviews ~October

2. Beam modes – preliminary draft for discussion • Machine modes – preliminary draft for discussion

14. Suggestions for upcoming meeting agendas • July 30th – AP presentation/discussion on beam and machine modes, global naming convention, MPS reqt’s for commissioning • Aug 6th – joint AP/Diagnostics discussion on Process Variables, Diagnostics Prioritization • Aug 13th – presentation and discussion of BLM ICD • Aug 20th – presentation and discussion of BPM ICD • Aug 27th – presentation and discussion of BCM and DCCT/differential current ICDs • Sep 3rd – presentation and discussion of Profile ICD (includes pepper pot?) • Sep 10th – system status – BCM and DCCT • Sep 17th – system status – BLM • Sep 24th – system status – BPM • Oct 1st – system status – Profile (includes pepper pot?) • Oct 8th – Preparation for Design Review • Oct 15th – Design Review

15. Complication for ‘smart’ systems • ‘Smart’ systems have embedded PC, will run EPICS locally – BPM, BCM, DCCT, BLM,… • Still evaluating whether to go with Libera or Xilinx • DCCT is Xilinx – acceptance testing next month • Libera demo delayed by I-Tech vendor board manufacturing problems, demo box due late August • Steep learning curve for Libera box – everything we need to know for Xilinx, plus learning to live with the Libera wrapper • Libera user’s meeting early September in Slovenia
