It is a service-based experiment orchestration system built on top of NSLS-II’s Python based Bluesky/Ophyd data collection framework, providing a managed and extensible software deployment local to the beamline. By using industry standard infrastructure provision, security and interface technologies we hope to provide a sufficiently flexible and adaptable platform, to meet the wide spectrum of science use cases and beamline operation models in a reliable and maintainable way. In addition to a system design overview, we describe here some initial test deployments of core capabilities to a number of Diamond beamlines, as well as some of the technologies developed to support the overall delivery of the platform.
