Abstract
Two Fresnel zone plates zooming optics have been successfully developed and installed at the AR-NE1A beamline of the Photon Factory at the high energy accelerator research organization (KEK) in Japan. To ensure the reliable and versatile operation of this optical instrumentation, a dedicated control architecture has been implemented based on the simple transmission and retrieval system (STARS) framework, incorporating the newly proposed STARS common commands for detector control (CCDC) -- a detector-specific data acquisition (DAQ) state and command system. This system serves as both a practical control system for zooming optics and a demonstration model for modular extensibility using the STARS framework and inter-operability among detector systems enabled by the CCDC command set. The system has been commissioned, and its performance has been verified at the AR NE1A beamline. The…
