How to... Videos
This page provides links to videos showing how to use some of the software (IspyB, DNA, mxCuBE) required for the efficiency of the MX beamlines at the ESRF.
Video Synopsis of usage:
- Defining where your pucks are in the dewar (usually done by the local contact)
- Defining Molecular Replacement search models and ligands
- Logging in, synching MXcube3, characterisation and data collection
- X-ray Centering
- Helical data collection
- Connecting using NX and restarting the MXcube server
??? Software overview:
- ISPYB: Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) linking individual crystals to their corresponding X-ray data.
- MxCuBE: Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the beamline control.
