Beamline Steering Information

The on-duty Floor Coordinator receives most requests from Beamline Personnel for beamline steering. Beamline Personnel request horizontal or vertical moves, in either angle or position. They may also request a beamline steering optimization. This is a request the Floor Coordinator communicates to the Main Control Room operators, who carry out the request. The Floor Coordinator may want to watch that a steering is completed, and this is what the Beamline Steering screens are good for. To view this screen, from the APS Storage Ring Display, left click the blue "Beamline Steering " button located in the middle of the SR, to get the below menu. Scroll to the desired "ID Steering Screens" or "BM Steering Screens" and click.

In the below example, the ID Steering Screens were chosen. To look at 1-ID's Beamline Steering Display, click on the aqua "IDs 1-8" button.

This is what the 1-ID Steering Display looks like.

Beamline steering requests may also go through the interactive Beamline Steering webpage located here:
