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. Improvements have been continuously made to the distributed control system (DCS) and accompanying graphical user interface Blu-Ice, which was first used for non-crystalline scattering/diffraction experiments in 2004, in an effort to make beam line control and data collection highly efficient, intuitive, and user friendly. In concert with the construction of the new BL4-2 station, a major upgrade of DCS/Blu-Ice was performed. The upgraded DCS/Blu-Ice has a new user administration protocol, which eliminated the need of user accounts on multiple computers and thus made the software more secure and user friendly. The upgrade also included the most recent hardware servers, which include additional Galil servers for motion control and a new server for pulse and voltage monitoring. These new hardware servers enabled elimination of the old motion control and pulse counting hardware, and made beam line control and data acquisition more smooth and reliable. Besides the major upgrades, new and improved capabilities developed this year include: 1) new graphical user interfaces for staff members to control beam line optics; 2) new virtual combination devices for real motors that were previously not controlled by a Galil; 3) new tools for staff members to customize beam line control and optimization; 4) new and improved functionalities in solution sample handling with a flow cell. The upgraded and improved DCS/Blu-Ice has been successfully tested and used on the new BL4-2 station by the staff members as well as general users.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 2004年首次用于非晶散射/衍射实验的分布式控制系统（DCS）和图形用户界面Blu-Ice不断得到改进，力求使束线控制和数据采集高效、直观、友好。 配合新 BL4-2 站的建设，对 DCS/Blu-Ice 进行了重大升级。 升级后的DCS/Blu-Ice具有新的用户管理协议，无需在多台计算机上建立用户帐户，从而使软件更加安全和用户友好。 此次升级还包括最新的硬件服务器，其中包括用于运动控制的附加 Galil 服务器以及用于脉冲和电压监控的新服务器。 这些新的硬件服务器消除了旧的运动控制和脉冲计数硬件，并使光束线控制和数据采集更加平稳和可靠。 除了重大升级之外，今年开发的新功能和改进功能还包括： 1）新的图形用户界面，供工作人员控制光束线光学器件； 2）新的虚拟组合设备，用于以前不受加利尔控制的真实电机； 3）供工作人员定制光束线控制和优化的新工具； 4) 使用流通池处理溶液样品的新功能和改进功能。 升级和改进的DCS/Blu-Ice已经在新的BL4-2站上成功地得到了工作人员和一般用户的测试和使用。
