Bluesky Scans#

The Osprey agent can run real measurement scans — sweep magnets, read beam monitors, and collect the data — through the same chat and panels you already use. Three promises shape everything on these pages: a scan waits in a queue until a human deliberately starts it, the queue survives restarts, and stopping is never locked — not by any switch, on any surface.

Run Your First Scan

Ten minutes on the Virtual Accelerator — ask for a scan in plain words, press two buttons, watch the points land. Nothing to configure.

Scans and the Queue

How running actually works: the queue, what needs arming, and the two ways to stop.
