Dear Mark, Thanks a lot for this prompt answer.
The hardware is almost ready: we use Galil controller (type DMC-2183 , 8axis) also the motor controllers are delivered and the crates will be installed in the control racks soon. Scientific Linux is the platform used on control machines at SESAME -
The number of motors in the FE and OP are listed in the table below.
The beamline has standard components for XAFS beamline type; actually these are components that were used in the ROBL beamline at ESRF.
-
At the experimental station we have a 5 axis optical table with 5 motors (3 jacks + 2 translations) and a 6 axis sample manipulator
. For detection, we will be using IC with femto current amplifier DPLCA type (or similar) and a ketek single SDD with the SCA (xia, DXP mercury). For end users software we can start with something very simple for stop and go scanning of the energy (XAFS) and simple XRF data (single emission lines and may be saving files in a format that can be read by
PyMCA. The on-the-fly scanning mode is not a priority for the moment. Your help will be highly appreciated
Many thanks,
Messaoud -----Original Message----- Could you list more specifically the hardware on the beamline (motor controllers, counter/timers, other detectors, etc.). What computer platform will you use, and what are the requirements for the end user software?

wrote: Dear EPICS community The SESAME light source project is very close to having first beam in the storage ring. This would be first for Science in the Middle East. It now faces the unfortunate situation that first beamlines are not ready. As part of completing
the XAFS /XRF beamlines there is work to do in delivering the beamline controls system. I would like to ask if someone is prepared to help work with SESAME to delivering the initial beamline control system. I am thinking it will take a substantial part of 6 month of someone’s effort, with a latter phase needing to be at
SESAME. I realise that controls and software effort is tight for many projects, but for SESAME to achieve an operational beamline is monumental step. I think this could be achieved with support and agreement from a lab management or as an individual. Immediate needs are basic motor control with some pseudo motors for optics in addition to the implementation of the detector readings to EPICS such as our SCA DXP mercury from XIA. This could start by working remotely than through visiting
SESAME, outside Amman in Jordan, supported by SESAME for implementation debugging/refinements. Many thanks for considering this.
