	CoSAXS is the Coherent and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) beamline placed at the diffraction-limited 3 GeV storage ring at MAX IV Laboratory. The beamline can deliver a very high photon flux ~10¹³ ph/s and it is equipped with state-of-the-art pixel detectors, suitable for experiments with a high time-resolution to be performed. In this work we present the upgraded beamline data acquisition strategy for a millisecond time-resolved SAXS/WAXS experiment, using laser light to induce temperature jumps or UV-excitation with the consequent structural changes on the system. In general terms, the beamline control system is based on TANGO and built on top of it, Sardana provides an advanced scan framework. In order to synchronize the laser light pulse on the sample, the X-ray fast shutter opening time and the X-ray detectors readout, hardware triggers are used. The implementation is done using PandABox, which generates the pulse train for the laser and for all active experimental channels, such as counters and detectors, in synchronization with the fast shutter opening time. PandABox integration is done with a Sardana Trigger Gate Controller, used to configure the pulses parameters as well to orchestrate the hardware triggers during a scan. This paper describes the experiment orchestration, laser light synchronization with multiple X-ray detector.

WE3BCO08	Efficient and Automated Metadata Recording and Viewing for Scientific Experiments at MAX IV	1041

	With the advancements in beamline instrumentation, synchrotron research facilities have seen a significant improvement. The detectors used today can generate thousands of frames within seconds. Consequently, an organized and adaptable framework is essential to facilitate the efficient access and assessment of the enormous volumes of data produced. Our communication presents a metadata management solution recently implemented at MAX IV, which automatically retrieves and records metadata from Tango devices relevant to the current experiment. The solution includes user-selected scientific metadata and predefined defaults related to the beamline setup, which are integrated into the Sardana control system and automatically recorded during each scan via the SciFish[1] library. The metadata recorded is stored in the SciCat[2] database, which can be accessed through a web-based interface called Scanlog[3]. The interface, built on ReactJS, allows users to easily sort, filter, and extract important information from the recorded metadata. The tool also provides real-time access to metadata, enabling users to monitor experiments and export data for post-processing. These new software tools ensure that recorded data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR[4]) for many years to come. Collaborations are on-going to develop these tools at other particle accelerator research facilities.

	This paper describes the design and implementation of the control system for the ForMAX beamline at the MAX IV synchrotron. MAX IV is a Swedish national laboratory that houses one of the brightest synchrotron light sources in the world. ForMAX is one of the beamlines at MAX IV and is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and Swedish industry via Treesearch. To meet the specific demands of ForMAX, a new control system was developed using the TANGO Controls and Sardana frameworks. Using these frameworks enables seamless integration of hardware and software, ensuring efficient and reliable beamline operation. The control system was designed to support a variety of experiments, including multiscale structural characterization from nanometer to millimeter length scales by combining full-field tomographic imaging, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), and scanning SWAXS imaging in a single instrument. The system allows for precise control of the beam position, energy, intensity, and sample position. Furthermore, the system provides real-time feedback on the status of the experiments, allowing for adjustments to be made quickly and efficiently. In conclusion, the design and implementation of the control system for the ForMAX beamline at the MAX IV synchrotron has resulted in a highly flexible and efficient experimental station. TANGO Controls and Sardana have allowed for seamless integration of hardware and software, enabling precise and reliable control of the beamline for a wide range of experiments.
