Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Hi,
I’ll plan to add the 625 support to my GitHub for Lakeshore support. It’s currently not at the same standard as the 336/350 support, and does contain some SNS specific code (as you saw with the ‘slimsam’ SNL and template file - which is a particular superconducting magnet we use here), but I can add a generic version fairly easily.
The 625 database itself is fairly minimal and doesn’t provide any alarm management or support for put_callback on the field setpoint. For our particular application we managed that in an SNL program, which also manages the ramp and persistence switch heater logic. This provides a simplified user interface which basically just exposes the field setpoint & status to the user, which is all they need. Then, in the high-level scan logic, setting the magnet field and waiting for it to get there is as simple as:
caput -c -w 3600 Beamline:Magnet:Field 5
We didn’t want to expose the power supply control to the average user, as in general there are parameters that shouldn’t be changed, or things that need to happen in a particular order for a successful ramp.
I believe some of the newer superconducting magnet power supplies deal with a lot of the ramping logic internally, so it’s less of an issue with the newer magnets.
Cheers,
Matt

I think both should be exposed to the community: having two is better than none. I can add translated .opi screens to Pierrick’ version and modifications I made to Matt’s. Please let me know.

> • Pierrick’s: everyone who came by was appealed by the gauges’ widgets. The beamline scientist liked so many functionalities exposed, especially he found the ramping ranges to be very nice. He was very concerned that the real users will have plenty of opportunities to screw up. I comforted him that GUI can be adjusted to user and expert.
