This summer in Alba we have received a visit of a scientist of the NSLS-II, and he did a seminar about this machine under construction.
They have a background on synchrotrons. The have a machine close to the 30th anniversary, the NSLS-I. It is one of the firsts 2nd generation synchrotrons, and it have to very different submachines the VUV (with the 30th aniversary in 2012), and the Xray (30 years in 2014).

The seminar was about the their new beamlines in the NSLS-II project, but reading about this machine with two storages rings opens my curiosity.
The machine status gui must have some peculiarities; or to have some of this guis. From the point of view that can be saw as one machine, there is one machine status.
Different beam energies, different accumulated currents and different live times. Very different behaviors of this to storage rings. The availability of the beam for x-ray ring is longer than 10 hours but the refilling time looks to be about an hour, then this seems to be a limit for a time resolution experiment. The ring for vuv have much smaller live time, 3 hour, but the refilling looks fast.
From my poor acknowledge (almost null) it's weird that the vuv, with more current have an easier refilling. Probably more boosted beams are need to accumulate, but it's a less energetic beam.

Living the commissioning of Alba, I don't wanna imagine how can be a commissioning of a booster with different rampings of the magnets depending on the destination storage ring. Also the radio frequency must be different. It looks to be like two completely different commissionings for the same booster.
