Hardware and IT Configuration

This page exists to collect links and resources on controls hardware and related topics useful to beamline scientists. Examples might include information on certain control equipment (detectors, motors, FPGAs, etc.), correct setup and use of networking or storage IT infrastructure (without reference to specific ANL information), and low-level configuration of operating systems and device drivers for effective operation.
