Data collection

Two diffractometers are available for data collection at the PX X06SA beamline.
The High Resolution Diffractometer, and, for very small sample sizes, the
Micro Crystal Diffractometer MD2.
Currently the energy can be changed with the appropriate IDL command (sete,e).

General guidelines for data collection

Users are ultimately responsible for their data collection strategy and the data they get, barring any obvious flaw in the hardware. Therefore, ask for advice but do not follow it blindly.

Immediately process all your data, even while they are being collected. Thus, you will be able to identify problems and you might re-collect if necessary.

Let the beamline staff know about possible problems! If there is a problem with the hard- or software, it will be taken care of.
If you do not give feedback, improvements might take longer.

After data collection, please submit an end-of-run report via your DUO account!
