Radius Run Manager

The Radius Run Manager is a tool to bridge scan planning and robotic control for the Radius Robotics project.

Here's where it fits in context:

Use cases:

• Calibration
• Prepare Samples
• Load Scans
• Edit Scans
• Start Scans
• Pause Scan

Notes

Currently (as of June 2025) the folks at 733 are using an application built in PythonQt to do an "on rails" version of an automated run. It runs directly on a beamline machine, and communicates with several services that drive the hardware directly (robot arm, sample position motors, beam shutter).

It also currently uses baked-in admin credentials to authenticate with the Sample Tracker, deployed to GKE at https://dataportal-staging.als.lbl.gov/, and fetch sample configuration data, using PySciCat.
