XALOC (BL13): MX beamline in ALBA

Control• Control of the beamline based in TANGO/Python• Generic client is needed (SPEC or Matlab Middle Layer)• ...but alternative to SPEC is being considered (SPOCK)

• Plans to use MxCuBe for experiment control (from day 1)• Plans to use EDNA to pipeline data processing (from day 1)• Plans to use IsPyB for sample management (from day 1?)

Axes• Single, horizontal axis being considered as a default diffractometer• Plans to insert mini-kappa when required• Colisions are a major concern

End-station• One table support diffractometer

and beam conditioning elements• One table supports only the detector• Condit. elements are stacked in

different vacuum vessels• Sample mounting robot considered
