HIFI

This page collects information that will be useful for the implementation of the IBEX control system on HIFI.

Background & Timeline

HIFI is high magnetic-field muon instrument at ISIS, on TS1. The HIFI web page describes the background to the instrument.

Control System

HIFI will migrate from the SECI control system to the IBEX control system in MMMMMMMM YYYY.

HIFI Equipment

The equipment listed below is used on HIFI. Please add new information (e.g. new items of equipment, new notes, information about drivers, etc. to this table).

Note: Motion

There is a project relating to the motion on the South Side Muons in progress, this information may be out of date

Note: Jaws

Provide information about HIFI jaws.

Note: Vacuum System

TPG300 support is implemented via #216 and #2063

Note: Eurotherm

Eurotherms are used to control temperature Orange Cryostat, CCR and Furnace devices.

Note: Aeroflex/IFR

Aeroflex has been through a complicated series of sales in recent years. The Aeroflex manuals are probably a good place to start, along with any existing VIs. See also IFR 2023A.

There appears to be no driver for the Aeroflex 2023A in C:\LabVIEW Modules\. However, there is a driver for an Aeroflex 2030 in C:\LabVIEW Modules\Drivers\Aeroflex 2030.

Note: Water Baths

  1. Julabo Water Bath

    • no information on specific Julabo Water Baths - maybe HIFI uses water baths from the pool?

    • consult the Julabo commands spreadsheet for specific details of which set of commands are used individual water baths.

  2. Haake Water Bath is now obsolete (replaced by Julabo, according to instrument scientist)

    • ~Haake Water Bath (apparently the following Haake water bath: WB9)~

    • ~Haake N6 Water Bath. Haake has now been taken over by ThermoFisher. N6 model may be obsolete. Check existing SECI VI for logic and manual (see C:\LabVIEW Modules\Drivers\Haake N6).~

  3. See also Water Baths list

Note: Oxford ICE Cube

What is the Oxford ICE Cube? LabVIEW drivers are located here: C:\LabVIEW Modules\Drivers\ICEOxford

Note: CAEN

The CAEN V895 is a 16-channel Leading Edge Discriminator. See also C:\LabVIEW Modules\Drivers\Caen.

Note: Oxford Instruments

  1. Dilution fridge: models to be determined.

    • Triton LabVIEW Driver : C:\LabVIEW Modules\Drivers\Triton

    • Triton Documentation : C:\LabVIEW Modules\Drivers\Triton\Documentation

    • See also #2915

  2. Blue Cryostat: models to be determined.

Note: LakeShore

  1. Model 218:

  2. Model 336:

  3. Model 340: this model is now obsolete, having been replaced by the 336 and 350 models.

  4. On muon instruments, the Triton fridges have an additional Lakeshore controller (the 372) to allow control and continuous readout of the sample temperature (the OI software doesn’t allow this using the in-built Lakeshore, despite the unit having a dedicated channel for the sample thermometry).

  5. Model 372 temperature controller.

  6. There are EPICS drivers for a variety of Lakeshore temperature controllers.

Note: Metrolab

  1. PT2025 NMR Precision Teslameter

    • The PT2025 is now obsolete. Replaced by model PT2026.

    • See C:\LabVIEW Modules\Instruments\HIFI\Metrolab PT2025 NMR for SECI VI

    • See \\isis\shares\ISIS_Experiment_Controls\Metrolab PT2025 Teslameter for the technical manual.
