As a user you will sit in front of 4 screens incl. keyboard and mouse. The right three concern the beamline operation, the left most concerns the control of the Mar345 image plate reader.
From right to left screens and keyboard/mice are labeled:
- BL1222BCS
- BL1222ACQ
- BL1222ES / ACQ-2
- Mar345
All 3 beamline computers operate LabView as control software. In all 3 cases, the software is started by double-clicking on the icon BL Control Main situated in the center of the screen.
It will open Labview and load the control software. Once this is completed you'll see an image similar to this (note the exact image varies depending on which machine you are starting LabView on):
Press the white arrow circled red in the image. This will load and start all the sub-system needed. You know that this is done once all the subsystem status 'lights' have turned green (or are left grey in some cases)
BL1222BCS:
This terminal is used for all operations concerned with beam conditioning and Equipment Protection System (EPS)
