VESUVIO
This page collects information that will be useful for the implementation of the new control system on VESUVIO.
Background & Timeline
VESUVIO (previously known as EVS) is a long established instrument at ISIS, on TS1. The VESUVIO web page describes the background to the instrument. An image of VESUVIO is shown in this diagram.

Devices controlled by Galil: Eulerian Cradle.
Note: Pfeiffer
Note: McLennan
The motors are set up in the following setup:
MTR0101: Forward scattering foil, left
MTR0102: Forward scattering foil, right
MTR0201: Uranium foil
MTR0202: Backward scattering foil
The single axis McLennan (currently Uranium foil) may be used to control one of the following other devices at a time: Rotating centre-stick, EVS Rotating centre-stick, McLennan-Newport Rotation Stage, MAPS CCR, PRISMA Omega Centre Stick, etc
The backward scattering foil is linked to hardware interlocks. If the cabin is open, the shutter can’t be moved. In these cases, it will report being at either an upper or lower limit.
Note: Oxford Instruments
Dilution fridge: models to be determined.
Note: Eurotherm
Used to control temperature of top-loading CCRs, Furnace, Orange Cryostat devices, etc.
Note: Furnaces
Vesuvio uses RAL designed furnaces - RAL5, vanadium and niobium furnaces (see Furnaces).
These are controlled via a Eurotherm temperature controller.
