Facilities Use Case

Oral Presentation

imeshct extends the MAX-IV tuned meshct_maxiv scan by enabling continuous, multi-line scans over irregular regions defined in a simple JSON schema. Users specify one or more regions, each with individually parametrized start and end positions and number of intervals. Integration and latency times are the same for all of the regions.

25. Continuous Scanning at MAX IV: Scaling and Adapting Across Beamlines.

Dr Lin Zhu (MAX IV Laboratory)

27/08/2025, 11:00

Facilities Use Case

Oral Presentation

This presentation builds on the continuous scan efforts that have been carried out at MAX IV for the past years, detailing the ongoing effort to extend its capabilities across beamlines in both storage rings. The system enables synchronized, high-throughput data acquisition using hardware triggering and reference-based alignment. While the core architecture remains consistent, each beamline...

17. Complex experiment applications at ALBA

Jordi Aguilar Larruy, Roberto Javier Homs Puron (ALBA)

27/08/2025, 11:20

Facilities Use Case

Oral Presentation

The Sequencer allows the execution of predefined macros but lacks advanced features such as conditionals, loops, and dynamic branching based on runtime values. This limits the automation of complex experiments, as demonstrated in the cases of CLAESS and FAXTOR beamlines. In both setups, specific user interfaces have been developed to facilitate user interaction, with considerations for failure...

23. A Multimodal DAQ System for Synchronized XAS-XRD Experiments

Vanessa Silva (MAX IV Laboratory)

27/08/2025, 11:40

Facilities Use Case

Oral Presentation

We present a multimodal data acquisition system developed for synchronized X-ray absorption and diffraction experiments. Built on the Sardana and Tango Controls frameworks, it enables fast, trajectory-based scanning with sub-second resolution and precise detector triggering. A dedicated Sardana macro manages experiment orchestration, while a Taurus GUI provides an intuitive interface for...
