This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The current data collection Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the NE-CAT beamlines is the Area Detector System Corp. (ADSC) interface. It was chosen for familiarity and expediency. In the late 90¿s and early 2000¿s many beamlines equipped with ADSC detectors used this GUI. Similarly, beamlines have used the MARResearch GUI. These interfaces could be seen and are still used at the NSLS, CHESS, and the APS. Though it is still familiar to some users, the necessity for users to use two computers and two programs with the limitation for expansion have limited the growth of these interfaces to new beamlines. We decided to upgrade the current interface by implementing the Blu-Ice, release 4-2, software package. This system was developed by the structural biology group at SSRL with close interaction with the protein crystallography users. It consists of an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) that conceals two other lower levels, a Distributed Contol System Server (DCSS) and a Distributed Hardware Server (DHS) level. This architecture provides us with a framework for expanding the capabilities of the beamline. The program is installed at the NE-CAT bending magnet beamline 8-BM. Commissioning of singlewavelength data collection was demonstrated in October of 2005. Commissioning covered control of all the basic necessities that a user would require to operate the beamline. It is now capable of multiple user access, controlling the ADSC 315 CCD detector, the Galil motor controller and communication to CONSOLE, the current beamline control program. MAD data collection is in commissioning mode.

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。NE-CAT波束线的当前数据采集图形用户界面(GUI)是区域探测器系统公司(ADSC)界面。选择它是因为熟悉和方便。在90年代末的S和2000年初的S，许多配备ADSC探测器的光束线都使用这种图形用户界面。同样，光束线也使用了MARResearch图形用户界面。这些接口可以看到，并仍在NSLS、CHESS和APS使用。虽然对一些用户来说仍然很熟悉，但由于用户需要使用两台计算机和两个具有扩展限制的程序，限制了这些接口对新光束线的增长。我们决定通过实施Blu-Ice版本4-2软件包来升级当前的界面。该系统是由SSRL的结构生物学小组与蛋白质结晶学用户密切互动开发的。它由一个直观的图形用户界面(GUI)组成，该界面隐藏了另外两个较低级别：分布式控制系统服务器(DCS)和分布式硬件服务器(DHS)。该架构为我们提供了扩展光束线能力的框架。该程序安装在NE-CAT偏转磁铁光束线8-BM上。2005年10月完成了单波长数据采集的调试工作。调试包括对用户操作光束线所需的所有基本必需品的控制。它现在能够进行多用户访问，控制ADSC 315 CCD探测器、Galil电机控制器和与控制台的通信，以及当前的光束线控制程序。MAD数据收集处于调试模式。
