Abstract
Recent advances in automation have fostered the development of unattended data collection services at a handful of synchrotron facilities worldwide. At the Swiss Light Source, the installation of new high-throughput sample changers at all three macromolecular crystallography beamlines and the commissioning of the Fast Fragment and Compound Screening pipeline created a unique opportunity to automate data acquisition. Here, the DA+ microservice software stack upgrades, implementation of an automatic loop-centering service and deployment of the Smart Digital User (SDU) software for unattended data collection are reported. The SDU software is the decision-making software responsible for communications between services, sample and device safety, sample centering, sample alignment with grid based X-ray diffraction and, finally, data collection.
