For LCLS-II two undulators were installed at SLAC, one for soft and one for hard x-rays. Before the superconducting linac gets turned on the copper linac is providing beams at 120 Hz to these two beam destinations. The 120 Hz can be split in many different ratios between soft and hard via a pulsed magnet. To get an optimized beam for the quite different photon energies the pulsed linac components like modulators and RF can provide many different beam parameters, mainly energies and bunch lengths for the two undulator lines. How this was implemented with timing setups of triggers and finally after the split the necessary matching of the transverse phase space will be discussed., Proceedings of the 12th International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2021, Campinas, SP, Brazil

With the advent of LCLS-II, SLAC must effectively and collectively plan for operation of its premiere scientific production facility. LCLS-II presents unique new challenges for SLAC, with its electron beam rate of up to 1MHz, complex bunch patterns, and multiple beam destinations. These machine advancements, along with long-term goals for automated tuning, model dependent and independent analysis, and machine learning provide strong motivation to enhance the SLAC software toolkit based on augmenting EPICS V3 to take full advantage of EPICS V4 - which supports structured data and facilitates a language-agnostic middle-ware service layer. The software platform upgrade path in support of controls, online physics and experimental facilities software for the LCLS-I/II complex is described., Proceedings of the 16th Int.
