LARMOR Instrument Details - ISISComputingGroup/ibex_developers_manual GitHub Wiki

This page collects information that will be useful for the implementation of the new control system on LARMOR.

Background & Timeline

The LARMOR web page describes the background to the instrument. The layout of the LARMOR beamline is shown in this diagram. The proposed architecture for the LARMOR control system is described here. We also have a list of LARMOR's motion control components.

Control System

LARMOR is currently using the IBEX control system.

LARMOR Equipment

The equipment listed below is to be used on LARMOR. Please add new information (e.g. new items of equipment, new notes, information about drivers, etc. to this table).
