Documentation

The manuals and reference of Jungfraujoch and Rugnux, open-source software from the Paul Scherrer Institute for X-ray diffraction data. The front page has the overview and the downloads; this page is the map of the documentation.

Data processing

Rugnux

Processes a stored macromolecular diffraction dataset, a rotation sweep or serial stills, from the images to merged reflections: spot finding, indexing, integration, scaling and merging, with the space group, cell and resolution decided from the data and a report that says on what evidence; given an atomic model, it also places and refines it against the merge. One command, no parameters.

Desktop application

Jungfraujoch Viewer

Shows what is in a diffraction dataset: every image with its spots, predictions and resolution rings, per-image statistics over the sweep, grid-scan maps, and the same processing pipeline as Rugnux, run from a settings panel on the open file. Follows a live collection from a running Jungfraujoch broker.

Data acquisition

Jungfraujoch

The data-acquisition and real-time analysis system for the PSI JUNGFRAU and EIGER detectors, and for DECTRIS detectors through their control unit: an FPGA and GPU pipeline that takes the detector's frames at full rate, analyses them on the fly, streams them to the NXmx HDF5 writer and serves a web interface and REST API to the beamline.

Licence. Rugnux, the viewer and the Jungfraujoch services are free software under the GNU General Public License v3 <LICENSE>; the FPGA design is released under the CERN Open Hardware Licence v2, strongly reciprocal <FPGA_LICENSE>. Both let anyone, in academia or industry, use, study and modify the software and the hardware design at no charge, commercial use included; what they ask is that a modified version which is passed on is shared under the same terms. The released binaries bundle third-party components under GPL-compatible licences, and the CUDA builds the NVIDIA CUDA runtime under NVIDIA's own EULA: see the third-party notices <THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES>.

All pages

Everything a user of Rugnux or the viewer needs comes first; the technical reference <TECHNICAL> holds the algorithms, the file formats and streams, the interfaces and the FPGA design. The names are explained in Naming <NAMING>, the releases in the changelog <CHANGELOG>.
