A package of software has been produced for the operation of the synchrotron beamline X12-C at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Years of observing common user mistakes has enabled the production of software that reduces user errors significantly. Users of the beamline communicate with all the experimental apparatus, including both the data-collection equipment and the beamline components, including the monochromator, through an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). Important features of the system are (1) its modularity, so that different underlying programs or different apparatus can be incorporated easily; (2) its ease of use, minimizing both user errors and training effort; and (3) that most of the experimental operations and parameters are logged automatically, again minimizing errors and facilitating more-or-less automatic reduction of the data. Features of the software are useful enough to have been incorporated into operations at other synchrotron beamlines.
已经开发出一套软件，用于布鲁克海文国家实验室国家同步辐射光源的同步加速器光束线X12-C的运行。多年来对用户常见错误的观察使得能够开发出显著减少用户错误的软件。光束线的用户通过一个易于使用的图形用户界面（GUI）与所有实验设备进行通信，包括数据采集设备和光束线组件，如单色仪。该系统的重要特性包括：（1）模块化，以便能轻松整合不同的底层程序或不同的设备；（2）易于使用，将用户错误和培训工作量降至最低；（3）大多数实验操作和参数会自动记录，同样将错误降至最低，并便于或多或少地自动进行数据处理。该软件的特性非常实用，已被纳入其他同步加速器光束线的运行中。
