2. Australian Synchrotron Mature GUI’s for protein crystallography beamlines Julian Adams

3. Australian Synchrotron Current examples Blu-Ice (SSRL) CBASS (NSLS) DCS (ALS) SER-GUI (SER Cat, APS) Blu-Ice (GM/CA Cat, APS) NE-GUI (NE Cat, APS)

4. Australian Synchrotron Requirements for “service” type PX beamlines Intuitive Easy for non-expert scientist Group information and controls by function Full control, but limited risk (to the beamline) Log information in a portable, easily displayed format Point & click energy scans, & MAD data collections

5. Australian Synchrotron Technical requirements Provide for fixed exit including corrections for beam shift due to dispersion and sagital focus radius Provide repeatable mechanical systems that allow for simple optimisation routines Provide reliable diagnostics for users to determine when staff intervention is necessary Crystal visualization systems that allow for 1 to 2 micron resolution Automation of crystal centering, either loop centering or point and click centering Fait, Chrzas & Lavender

6. Australian Synchrotron Controls Modular control system based on commercial components from many vendors Client-Server model, over TCP-IP Multiple operating systems, multiple servers for a single client Device drivers must be readily implemented for new hardware Vendor hardware and software must be able to be integrated, regardless of cooperation of vendor or availability of reasonable interfaces Beamline users should not be aware of these issues Fait, Chrzas & Lavender
