I'm at a synchrotron in Germany doing some experiments! Just got done with another night shift, it's 8 am now here. This evening I'll have my final night shift, hopefully I will manage to measure some nice spectra.

Thats really fuckin cool
Very awesome, how is using Linux Mint on industrial hardware?
As a user I had no complaints, it all worked smoothly. I am not sure why, but I think that the three synchrotrons that I have visited used Linux Mint in the machines that controlled the hardware.
They need to be Debianized for the next level.
They have written programs (mostly with python, I think) to move the motors, capture data from the photodiode, and control the laser. The programs work fine as is, and the bottleneck time-wise is the time it takes to get good statistics, not really the efficiency of any of the controls or speed of the data analysis. So, what one cares the most about is that the programs continue working as they do every day they come in. I don't know if there would be a gain from switching to Debian. What do you think the benefit would be? I haven't used Mint on my own machines, only Ubuntu and Arch. I know Arch I wouldn't recommend for something like this because I have had many updates breaking things and having to spend time fixing those, which would not be a good thing to happen during a beamtime!
WOW!!! That's fucking amazing!!
Yeah! It's pretty cool :) Difficult shifts, though ๐
Damn man, thsi is actually pretty cool!
