Beamline StatusRing Current | The current in the ring, in mA. This should be between 295 and 305 in standard operation. | Refill | The storage ring is constantly losing electrons, and so some new ones are injected every 10 minutes. This is the time in seconds until the next refill. | Front End | The “front end” is broadly where the x-rays leave the storage ring, and enter the beamline. The front end needs to be open to get x-rays into the optics hutch. | EH3 PSS | The EH3 PSS tells you whether the experimental hutch is searched; in a secret code. 65535 means the hutch is searched (and this status will be green). Anything else and the hutch is not searched. | EH3 Shutter | The EH3 shutter is the main safety shutter that blocks the x-rays from entering the experimental hutch. |
WebcamsWe have two webcams on the beamline, which are viewable through the web interface. You can ask your local contact if you’d like them focussed elsewhere. |
