Machine info

BLISS offers some mechanisms to deal with information obtained from the ESRF accelerator.

MachInfo class provides:

properties to get some machine available information
counters to access to accelerator information
helper functions to implement refill pretection in a sequence

Configuration¶

Configuration example:

- class: MachInfo
  plugin: bliss
  uri: //acs.esrf.fr:10000/fe/master/id42
  name: mama

machinfo properties¶

sr_mode: operation mode in: [USM; MDT; Shutdown; SafetyTest; IdTest]
automatic_mode: activation of automatic FE mode: True or False
tango_uri: address of the Front-End Tango device server
counters:
- current: Ring current of the machine
- lifetime: Remaining Lifetime of the beam
- sbcurr: Ring current of the machine in Single Bunch mode
- refill: Countdown to the Refill

Counters usage in a scan:

DEMO [8]: ct(0.1, mama)
Sun Mar 08 13:54:39 2020

 current = 8.830000000000009 ( 88.30000000000008/s)
lifetime =     222633.0 (   2226330.0/s)
  refill =       7523.0 (     75230.0/s)
  sbcurr =          0.0
  Out [8]: Scan(number=2, name=ct, path=)

Reading of a particular counter:

DEMO [9]: mama.counters.current
 Out [9]: 'current` Tango attribute counter info:
            device server = //acs.esrf.fr:10000/fe/master/id42
            Tango attribute = SR_Current
            Tango format = "%6.2f"
            Tango unit = "mA"
            scalar
            value: 8.82

DEMO [10]: mama.counters.current.value
 Out [10]: 194.43

`info`¶

MachInfo object shell info provides:

url of the tango device used
AutoMode timing
Operator Message

DEMO  [5]: mama
  Out [5]: MACHINE INFORMATION   ( //acs.esrf.fr:10000/fe/master/id42 )

           -----------------  ---------------------------------------------
           SR Mode:           USM
           Current:           8.79 mA
           Lifetime:          245231s = 2days 20h 7mn 11s
           Refill CountDown:  6519s = 1h 48mn 39s
           Filling Mode:      7/8 multibunch
           AutoMode:          True (remaining: 498183s = 5days 18h 23mn 3s)
           -----------------  ---------------------------------------------
           Operator Message: Jun  3 12:00 Back to USM

all_information¶

all_information property returns most of all the machine information as a dictionary:

DEMO [9]: pprint.pprint(mama.all_information)
{'Auto_Mode_Time': 502822,
 'Automatic_Mode': True,
 'EXP_Itlk_State': tango._tango.DevState.ON,
 'FE_Itlk_State': tango._tango.DevState.ON,
 'FE_State': 'FE open',
 'HQPS_Itlk_State': tango._tango.DevState.ON,
 'PSS_Itlk_State': tango._tango.DevState.ON,
 'SR_Current': 195.93514894706684,
 'SR_Filling_Mode': '7/8 multibunch',
 'SR_Lifetime': 66281.93637072828,
 'SR_Mode': 'USM',
 'SR_Operator_Mesg': 'Jun  3 12:00 Back to USM',
 'SR_Refill_Countdown': 2034.0,
 'SR_Single_Bunch_Current': -0.04008001020600001,
 'UHV_Valve_State': tango._tango.DevState.ON}

iter_wait_for_refill¶

iter_wait_for_refill(<checktime>, <waittime>=0., <polling_time>=1.)

Helper for waiting the machine refill. It will yield two states “WAIT_INJECTION” and “WAITING_AFTER_BEAM_IS_BACK” until the machine refill is finished.

simple usage will be:

for status in iter_wait_for_refill(my_check_time,waittime=1.,polling_time=1.):
    if status == "WAIT_INJECTION":
        print("Scan is paused, waiting injection",end='\r')
    else:
        print("Scan will restart in 1 second...",end='\r')

check_for_refill¶

check_for_refill(checktime): check that checktime (in seconds) is smaller than refill (the refill countdown).

Example:

DEMO [4]: from bliss.controllers.machinfo import  MachInfo

DEMO [5]: mama.counters.refill
 Out [5]: 'refill` Tango attribute counter info:
             device server = //acs.esrf.fr:10000/fe/master/id42
             Tango attribute = SR_Refill_Countdown
             ...
             value: 6411.0

DEMO [6]: MachInfo.check_for_refill(mama, 6300)
 Out [6]: True

DEMO [7]: MachInfo.check_for_refill(mama, 6500)
 Out [7]: False

WaitForRefillPreset¶

This preset will pause a scan:

during the refill
or if the checktime is greater than the time to refill.

If checktime is set to None, count_time is used if found on the top master of the chain.

Insertion of WaitForRefillPreset preset is done via .check setting:

Set it to True to activate refill check.
Set it to False to de-activate refill check.
