Data Acquisition Software for the Tender X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline at the Taiwan Photon Source

Abstract The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) 32A Tender X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Beamline, under the 3 rd phase of the beamline construction project at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC), has completed its hardware structure and began commissioning in September 2023. Multiple software tools have been developed to integrate the beamline components specifically for commissioning, including the slits scanning, energy scanning, energy calibration, saving/loading parameters, and spectral scanning software. These software tools integrate the functionalities of individual optical components and automate steps required for setting experimental conditions. A user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) can speed up the commissioning process and lower the barrier for user operation. The workstation with completed software interfaces has been established for the concept development of beamline control logic and for general X-ray absorption spectroscopy users. Developing features such as the fly-scan function and in-situ measurements aim to facilitate user experiments and enhance the scanning capabilities of the TPS 32A beamline.
