Blu-Ice和分布式控制系统（DCS）软件包的开发是为了对大分子晶体学光束线上可用的不同硬件资源提供统一控制。Blu-Ice是一个用户界面，为科学实验人员和光束线支持人员提供直观的图形工具，用于收集衍射数据和配置实验光束线。Blu-Ice通过DCS与光束线上的硬件进行通信，DCS是一种仪器控制和数据采集包，旨在将硬件资源集成到高度异构的网络计算环境中。Blu-Ice和DCS共同提供了一个灵活的平台，可提高光束线的易用性、自动化水平和远程访问能力。Blu-Ice和DCS目前安装在四个斯坦福大学同步辐射实验室晶体光束线上，并正在姐妹光源上实施。
The Blu-Ice and Distributed Control System (DCS) software packages were developed to provide unified control over the disparate hardware resources available at a macromolecular crystallography beamline. Blu-Ice is a user interface that provides scientific experimenters and beamline support staff with intuitive graphical tools for collecting diffraction data and configuring beamlines for experiments. Blu-Ice communicates with the hardware at a beamline via DCS, an instrument-control and data-acquisition package designed to integrate hardware resources in a highly heterogeneous networked computing environment. Together, Blu-Ice and DCS provide a flexible platform for increasing the ease of use, the level of automation and the remote accessibility of beamlines. Blu-Ice and DCS are currently installed on four Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory crystallographic beamlines and are being implemented at sister light sources.
