Welcome to the Hard X-Ray Split and Delay Automated Controls System!
Controls automation module for the hard x-ray split and delay instrument.
Getting Started
The easiest way to start using the hard x-ray split and delay is to navigate to the released area which has everything setup. From any of the LCLS NFS machines that can view XCS PVs, run the following to change to the correct directory:
$ cd /reg/neh/operator/xcsopr/bin/snd
From here, all the core functionality of the split and delay system can be accessed.
Running the IPython Shell
The most common used way to interface with the system is through the IPython
shell. From the top level SnD directory listed above, run the following launcher
script:
$ ./run_snd
The shell will have all the SnD objects instantiated and ready for use.
