Roadmap

For all SFX experiments at SwissFEL (Alvra, Bernina(SwissMX and pure Bernina one) and Cristallina) this service was used in years 2018-2023 and were running by authors of the code, which helped to make a fast changes and integration with other components as well as successful tuning this product to users needs. In 2013 successful steps were made to split tool to config and executable parts and beamtimes in June at Cristallina were running with config part fully under control of beamline people, in July - executable part was tested to be running under control of beamtime people of Alvra. That opens a possibility to start a migration of this service to tool.

Till now Automatic Processing were used for SFX experiments only, since they were a more demanding for this tool. But enhancement of tool to other types of experiments at SwissFEL is certainly possible.
