SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR SMALL ANGLE X-RAY SCATTERING DATA COLLECTION, BASED ON

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 自2004年以来，我们在BL4-2上选择的软件套件--分布式控制系统(DCS)和随附的图形用户界面Blu-Ice定期进行了许多改进。对BLU-Ice/DCS的渐进式改进使非晶态X射线散射/衍射研究中的光束线控制和数据收集变得高效、直观和用户友好，同时促进了新的数据收集方法。2009年最显著的改进包括：1)显著改进了自动解决方案样品转换器的图形用户界面(SolSAXS选项卡)，纳入了许多新的数据收集和样品处理功能；2)用于时间分辨研究的新图形用户界面(TRSAXS选项卡)。自7月下旬以来，SolSAXS选项卡中的图形用户界面和新的硬件控制功能一直在用户和合作者的日常使用中，并在我们的高吞吐量解决方案分散开发项目中发挥着关键作用。TRSAXS标签已经过测试，并在7月份的实际快速时间分辨研究中成功使用。我们计划在不久的将来更新此选项卡，以包括我们的Pilatus 300k探测器的在线控制。

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. A number of improvements have been made on a regular basis to the distributed control system (DCS) and accompanying graphical user interface Blu-Ice, which is our choice of software suite on BL4-2 since 2004. Incremental improvements to the Blu-Ice/DCS make beam line control and data collection in non-crystalline x-ray scattering/diffraction studies highly efficient, intuitive, and user friendly, and at the same time facilitate new methods of data collection. The most notable improvements made in 2009 include 1) significantly improved GUI for the automated solution sample changer (SolSAXS tab) incorporating a number of new data collection and sample handling features; 2) new graphical user interface (GUI) for time resolved studies (TRSAXS tab). The GUI and new hardware control features in the SolSAXS tab have been in routine use by users and collaborators since late July and plays a key role in our high throughput solution scattering development project. The TRSAXS tab has been tested and successfully utilized in actual fast time-resolved studies in July. We plan on updating this tab to include the online control of our Pilatus 300k detector in near future.
