Operation Sequencing (Standard Discharge Cycle)
1 - BOOT : select control release
2 - SELECT : select discharge program & control configuration
3 - LOAD : set+lock actuators+diag‘s -> configure ctrl.processes, allocate rt net
4 - RUN : check readines <-> hand-over to rt discharge control; rt log.+vis.
5 - POST pulse activities : collect/archive pulse information (settings, logs, records)

Conclusions
XM is the central platform to operate ASDEX Upgrade and automate experiment execution.
It
-defines operation methods of the machine
-provides acces methods to resource information and monitors resources
-provides central services for configuration, logging, protocolling, and archiving
-provides user interfaces for operators / sys.engineers / exp.leaders
The separation of operation control flow from discharge information handling
helped to design a method to configure the highly flexible system in a transparent
way.
