“…For DESY II and PETRA III several machine parameters are measured and are recorded, time-stamped and archived using the TINE Accelerator Control and Monitoring system [8]. One important parameter for the DESY II Test Beam Facility which is used for some of the performance measurements (see Sec.…”

DESY Hamburg operates a test beam facility with three independent beam lines at the DESY II synchrotron. It is world-wide one of very few facilities providing test beams in the GeV range. To this end, it offers electron/positron beams with user-selectable momenta from 1-6 GeV/c. The available infrastructure for the users is unique, including a high field solenoidal magnet and permanently installed high-precision pixel beam telescopes. This publication gives a detailed description of the facility, the available infrastructure, and the simulated and measured performance.

“…The client-server design also allows for scriptable and programmable modes of operation, implemented using the control system TINE (threefold integrated networking environment), developed at DESY (Bartkiewicz & Duval, 2007). The interface provided by TINE has, up to now, been employed to run test sequences automatically, but it can also be used to embed hardware control into high-level scripting languages such as Python.…”

Automated sample-changing robot for solution scattering experiments at the EMBL Hamburg SAXS station X33

There is a rapidly increasing interest in the use of synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for large-scale studies of biological macromolecules in solution, and this requires an adequate means of automating the experiment. A prototype has been developed of an automated sample changer for solution SAXS, where the solutions are kept in thermostatically controlled well plates allowing for operation with up to 192 samples. The measuring protocol involves controlled loading of protein solutions and matching buffers, followed by cleaning and drying of the cell between measurements. The system was installed and tested at the X33 beamline of the EMBL, at the storage ring DORIS-III (DESY, Hamburg), where it was used by over 50 external groups during 2007. At X33, a throughput of approximately 12 samples per hour, with a failure rate of sample loading of less than 0.5%, was observed. The feedback from users indicates that the ease of use and reliability of the user operation at the beamline were greatly improved compared with the manual filling mode. The changer is controlled by a client-server-based network protocol, locally and remotely. During the testing phase, the changer was operated in an attended mode to assess its reliability and convenience. Full integration with the beamline control software, allowing for automated data collection of all samples loaded into the machine with remote control from the user, is presently being implemented. The approach reported is not limited to synchrotron-based SAXS but can also be used on laboratory and neutron sources.

“…In contrast to other sites involved in the MXCuBE Collaboration, at P13 and P14 MXCuBE2 communicates with beamline devices via the TINE (Bartkiewicz & Duval, 2007) control system. Furthermore, data acquisition sequences at the 'Start/Execute' step are delegated to middleware TINE services which tightly coordinate the actions of a multitude of devices, as briefly described in Karpics et al (2016).…”

MXCuBE2: the dawn of MXCuBE Collaboration

et al. 2019

MXCuBE2 is the second-generation evolution of the MXCuBE beamline control software, initially developed and used at ESRF – the European Synchrotron. MXCuBE2 extends, in an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), the functionalities and data collection methods available to users while keeping all previously available features and allowing for the straightforward incorporation of ongoing and future developments. MXCuBE2 introduces an extended abstraction layer that allows easy interfacing of any kind of macromolecular crystallography (MX) hardware component, whether this is a diffractometer, sample changer, detector or optical element. MXCuBE2 also works in strong synergy with the ISPyB Laboratory Information Management System, accessing the list of samples available for a particular experimental session and associating, either from instructions contained in ISPyB or from user input via the MXCuBE2 GUI, different data collection types to them. The development of MXCuBE2 forms the core of a fruitful collaboration which brings together several European synchrotrons and a software development factory and, as such, defines a new paradigm for the development of beamline control platforms for the European MX user community.
