Storage Ring Information

On a typical shift, the on-duty Floor Coordinator will check the Storage Ring Status page to gather beam status information. To view this information, from the APS Storage Ring Display, under the SR Info section, left click the blue "Info" button to get the below menu. Scroll to SR Status & History and click.

This will produce the below EPICS SR Status & History page. From this page, machine current, status, mode, number of shutters open, and other pertinent information can be viewed. There is also a section at the bottom that lists "Messages from Operations" to include the current MCR operators on shift, the current FC on shift, the fill pattern, beam dump/trip reasons, and the ETA on the next beam fill.
