Non-exclusive selection of guiding questions for the workshop (@Instrument speakers: Please include relevant topics in your individual presentations where you see fit):
- What teams are involved in the commissioning – is that different per instrument / per component? What are their roles?
- What software are used for instrument control? Who is responsible for the controls? (Is there any EPICS at J-PARC?)
- Any special tools (hardware/software) that are used for commissioning/calibration solely?
- Have you documented the commissioning procedures (and how)?
- How often are instruments setups re-checked (re-commissioned, re-calibrated, etc)? What triggers this? How much of this work is automated?
- What were the main lessons learned that you did not expect before?
- Examples of commissioning a particular type of measurement (that does not concern the whole instrument) and overlap with other instruments.
- In the early days, could the data be correlated / linked to a given pulse?
- How is neutron instrument data acquisition and storage done? (E.g. through a common data storage approach or individual handling for each instrument.)
- Fast/high data volume/beam synchronous acquisition, what has happened at J-PARC in the last 3 years?
- How do you communicate with other parts of the facility? (e.g. Accelerator + Target commissioning preparations)
- What was the process of building and commissioning the instrument suite at J-PARC concerning controls? How did it evolve at your instrument?
- If there is a safety deviation during commissioning / operation, what are the actions to follow when reporting?
