Vanessa Da Silva (MAX IV Laboratory)25/09/2025, 09:00MC09: Experiment Control and Data AcquisitionContributed Oral Presentation
The Balder beamline at MAX IV Laboratory, a state-of-the-art 4th generation synchrotron, is designed for X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. Delivering a high photon flux (10¹³ ph/s), it supports in situ experiments, which require fast, high-quality data acquisition and support for sequential multi-technique measurements.

Andreas Balzer (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie)25/09/2025, 09:30MC09: Experiment Control and Data AcquisitionContributed Oral Presentation
We present HASMI (Harmonic Analyzer State Machine Interface), a highly configurable Python framework designed to automate data acquisition and analytical tasks for optimizing coordinated undulator and monochromator movements at synchrotron beamlines. Built upon EPICS, HASMI features a comprehensive scan library and a command-line interface for managing multi-actuator scans. The framework...

Vincent Esposito (Linac Coherent Light Source)25/09/2025, 09:45MC09: Experiment Control and Data AcquisitionContributed Oral Presentation
X-ray experiments at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory require rapid analysis and feedback to optimize experimental conditions and maximize data quality. To address this need, the Data Systems team has developed a real-time monitoring and data analysis software tool, facilitating timely decision-making and improving experimental efficiency.

Lin Zhu (MAX IV Laboratory)25/09/2025, 10:00MC09: Experiment Control and Data AcquisitionContributed Oral Presentation
The position-based continuous energy scanning system at MAX IV continues to evolve, delivering significantly faster and more consistent data acquisition for X-ray beamlines. Since its initial implementation on BioMAX, FlexPES, and FinEstBeAMS, the system has now been successfully deployed on three additional beamlines: SPECIES, HIPPIE, and NanoMAX. Integration efforts are also underway for...
