(a) The user graphical control interface for exes. The interface has separate panes for sample alignment and basic hutch control (shown above), for sample changer control and for data collection. Beamline staff and experienced users can access higher levels of functionality through a password-protected expert interface. The motor controls change colour to facilitate use: green = available, yellow = moving, red = unavailable or fault state. The lower part of the interface is reserved for log messages and information from the storage-ring operators. (b) The overall exes graphical control panel with full access to all the beamline motors and devices. This panel is typically used by local contacts and the beamline staff for troubleshooting and non-standard operations. The motor controls change colour as for the user GUI. Intensity measurements from the beamline diagnostics and machine status are shown in the top of the window. (c) The beamline synopsis view on display in the ID23-1 control cabin. Beam intensities are continuously tracked in the two graphs at different points along the beamline. The upper part of the screen shows motor positions and temperatures of components. The synthesis will be refined as experience is gained of important parameters and information.
