The PXDB was created and is used to track almost all aspects and events during correlated data collection. The front page (not shown) for our PXDB tracking system includes several task-related subheadings. For example, from each of the links one can navigate to metadata related to sample preparation (puck and cane information), beam time request (either in person or Mail-In) and data collection information (Sweep Tools). The Sweep Tools page (illustrated with a screen shot) includes all information logged during data collection from each crystal. This often includes several sweeps for X-ray diffraction screening, finding the optimal crystal orientation for single-crystal spectroscopy, links to the X-ray diffraction images, links to spectroscopic data, and a few summary tools for preliminary spectroscopic analysis that can be of use for decision making while at the beamline.
