New SANS sample changer was demoed see ticket. Feedback was generally positive. There was a couple of additional requests:

• RD highlighted to make sure that when it was deployed to LARMOR any PVs in the synoptic were still correctly connected - ticket

Release notes for 7.4.0, 7.3.0, 7.2.1 and 7.2.0 were shown, with a number of features highlighted. They produced a couple of requests:

• RD asked us to check if the scan library worked with simulation mode ticket
• SR asked if we can make sure the SANS2D guides are referred to as guides and not waveguides throughout IBEX ticket

Further discussion

• There were various discussions on how arrays are handled by IBEX. ticket has been created to nail down requirements for this
• DAV asked if the HTS magnet will be ready for ZOOM. Assured him that testing on POLREF was going well and that the IOC should work for both instruments
• SANS group are interested in the script generator
