The design and features of a beamline control software system for macromolecular crystallography (MX) experiments developed at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) are described. This system, MxCuBE, allows users to easily and simply interact with beamline hardware components and provides automated routines for common tasks in the operation of a synchrotron beamline dedicated to experiments in MX. Additional functionality is provided through intuitive interfaces that enable the assessment of the diffraction characteristics of samples, experiment planning, automatic data collection and the on-line collection and analysis of X-ray emission spectra. The software can be run in a tandem client-server mode that allows for remote control and relevant experimental parameters and results are automatically logged in a relational database, ISPyB. MxCuBE is modular, flexible and extensible and is currently deployed on eight macromolecular crystallography beamlines at the ESRF. Additionally, the software is installed at MAX-lab beamline I911-3 and at BESSY beamline BL14.1.
描述了一种在欧洲同步辐射设施（ESRF）开发的用于大分子晶体学（MX）实验的光束线控制软件系统的设计和特点。这个名为 MxCuBE 的系统，让用户可以轻松、简单地与光束线硬件组件交互，并为专门用于 MX 实验的同步加速器光束线的操作中的常见任务提供自动化例程。通过直观的界面提供了额外的功能，使评估样品的衍射特性、实验规划、自动数据采集以及在线收集和分析 X 射线发射光谱成为可能。该软件可以在串联的客户端-服务器模式下运行，允许远程控制，相关的实验参数和结果会自动记录在关系数据库 ISPyB 中。MxCuBE 是模块化、灵活和可扩展的，目前已在 ESRF 的八个大分子晶体学光束线上部署。此外，该软件还安装在 MAX-lab 光束线 I911-3 和 BESSY 光束线 BL14.1 上。
