WISH Notes

WISH has the following specialist panels/systems:

  1. Rotating CCR (PM600)

    • See C:\LabVIEW Modules\Rotating CCR\Rotating CCR - Front Panel.vi

  2. GEM Beamline Jaws (PM341)

    • check existing VI on WISH (GEM has been upgraded since original system was written)

    • PM341 is a McLennan model

    • Instrument scientist is not sure why GEM VIs are installed on WISH (they may not actually be used).

  3. GEM Jaws (Linmot)

    • check existing VI on WISH (GEM has been upgraded since original system was written)

    • Instrument scientist is not sure why GEM VIs are installed on WISH (they may not actually be used).

  4. GEM ORC

    • check existing VI on WISH (GEM has been upgraded since original system was written)

    • See also #2409 and #2808

    • WISH does have an ORC. Need to check if it the same as the GEM ORC.

  5. MAPS CCR (PM600)

    • See C:\LabVIEW Modules\Instruments\MAPS\MAPS CCR\MAPS CCR - Front Panel.vi

  6. PEARL Pressure Transducer

    • See C:\LabVIEW Modules\Instruments\PEARL\PEARL Pressure Transducer\PEARL Pressure Transducer.vi

  7. PEARL Pressure Cell Controller

    • See C:\LabVIEW Modules\Instruments\PEARL\PEARL Pressure Cell Controller\PEARL Pressure Cell Controller - Front Panel.vi

  8. POLARIS Sample Changer

    • See #2173

    • See also C:\LabVIEW Modules\Instruments\POLARIS\POLARIS Sample Changer\POLARIS SC - Front Panel.vi

  9. WISH Jaws

  10. WISH Lakeshore 370

  11. WISH Oscillating Radial Collimator (Galil) - see here for more info

  12. WISH Vacuum PLC

WISH has the following devices under motion control:

  1. jaws

  2. XYZ stage

    • This is also referred to as/is controlling the “Alignment Flange”

WISH also tends to borrow things from other instruments. Commonly used equipment:

  1. PEARL pressure controller

  2. Mercury-controlled Heliox cryostat insert

  3. Blue Cryostat (ITC controlled)

  4. IRIS Baratron Gas cell

  5. Automatic needle valve - see note on ticket #6695 for investigation, ticket #4240 for IOC implementation and ticket #6777 for OPI.

WISH SECI Configs

Document information about WISH SECI configs here.

Note: Most of WISH configs revolve around the WISH base config. This has been created as a component in IBEX and subsequent components for each thing that is added to the WISH base config should be added as components (i.e. the Teslatron, Strain Cell, Rotation stages etc.)
