POLREF
This page collects information that will be useful for the implementation of the IBEX control system on POLREF.
Background & Timeline
POLREF is a general purpose polarised neutron reflectometer, on TS2. The POLREF web page describes the background to the instrument.
Control System
POLREF will migrate from the SECI control system to the IBEX control system in MMMMMMMM YYYY.
POLREF Equipment
The equipment listed below is used on POLREF. Please add new information (e.g. new items of equipment, new notes, information about drivers, etc. to this table).

Note: DAE
See multi-detector and single-detector below.
Note: Choppers
POLREF has a Mk3 chopper.
Note: Jaws
Provide information about POLREF jaws.
Note: Huber
According to Huber’s web-site, a Huber SMC9000 is a motion controller. See SMC 9300 which appears to be the latest of the 9000-series and SMC 9000
However, in terms of POLREF, Huber seems to refer to a sample stack. Need to get to the bottom of this confusion. I guess it is a Huber sample stack (how many axes?) controlled by a SMC 9000 controller.
Note: McLennan
Support for McLennan devices is well established (see #1099 and #1100 and subsequent tickets.
Note: Newport

Note: Vacuum System
Note: Eurotherm
Eurotherms are used to control temperature Orange Cryostat, CCR and Furnace devices.
Note: Water Baths
Julabo Water Bath (apparently the following Julabos: WB23 )
consult the Julabo commands spreadsheet for specific details of which set of commands is used by these water baths.
Haake Water Bath (no longer supported at ISIS)
~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~.

Note: Hitachi
Hitachi L-7100 HPLC pump (no longer supported at ISIS). ~Can’t find L-7100 on [Hitachi web-site](http://www.hitachi-hightech.com/global/about/corporate/group/hhs (may be obsolete). Check existing SECI VI for logic and manual.~
Note: JASCO HPLC Pump
JASCO HPLC pump is a new (for ISIS) model of HPLC pump. Jasco pumps are replacing the old Hitachi pumps.
Note: Knauer

POLREF Notes
POLREF has the following specialist panels/systems:
POLREF Danfysik
POLREF Flipper
POLREF Vector Network Analyser
SURF Galil DIO
POLREF has the following devices under motion control:
benches
coarse jaws
FOMs (Frame Overlap Mirror)
Huber
jaws
laser gimbal
point detector
Polarizer
reflectometer sample stack
rotation stage
transmission monitor
Note: (from original POLREF notes (may now be obsolete - check with Kathryn)) Note for when the time comes - check with the instrument scientist if the calibration function for the Danfysik is still used (allows for specific hysteresis curves to use between the limits in use), if it is, make sure we capture this functionality again - likely to be some SNL or a genie-python script might be able to do it instead.
