DNA project specification - DNA 1.0:
A system that can collect "good data" automatically.
We defined in the November 4th
DNA full meeting a DNA project mission and a task list with priorities.
Here is the project specification for release 1.0:
- The system should be reliable, robust and be provided with extensive documentation.
- More precisely, the system should:
- work with single wavelength data (MAD will be considered for DNA 2)
- be able to do screening and ranking automatically (hence it should work
with sample changers)
- automatically determine the optimum exposure time (BEST)
- be able to do space group determination
- integrate and scale collected data
- run offline
- run on any site (however the distribution version will run only on Linux
computers)
- The input to the system should be both manual and via a beamline LIMS (the
eHTPX data model should be used). The output of the system should be a scaled
data set and a summary (certification) of the experiment.
