abstract = {{The Coherent Imaging Division of the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) at DESY develops innovative methods for imaging with the use of X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) and synchrotron sources, with an emphasis on bioparticles and macromolecules. The determination of the structure of such objects is particularly sensitive to radiation damage, which can be overcome by using ultrafast X-ray pulses that outrun this damage. The use of X-ray imaging techniques in scientific research has significantly increased in recent years, resulting in a growing demand for advanced control systems that can enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of the experiments. The development and implementation of such systems allow researchers to automate and customize the various components involved in X-ray imaging experiments, including detectors and motor stages. The current implementation of the control system is based on the Kamzik3 framework, which was developed especially for these experiments. There is ongoing work to migrate the existing system to the Tango Controls framework, utilizing macros executed by Sardana. It will simplify the integration process of the experimental setup into beamlines on different synchrotron sources and allow the usage of community-developed tools. }},
