How can access it help you?
Access a full-service IT department who will work to secure your systems, minimize downtime, offer strategic insights and fully support your organization for a fraction of the cost of internal IT. For organizations that want to augment an existing IT department with additional resources.
Connecting to Diamond from external sites
Diamond provides multiple ways for users and staff to remotely connect. The most convenient, and recommended, is using NX. This method, described here, does not require any special/extended privileges on the DLS network or machines.
Using NX to connect to nx-user.diamond.ac.uk
NX ( http://www.nomachine.com) is an alternative to VNC which has even better compression. It has the disadvantage of not being able to take over the console - you get a new X session.
Introduction to Remote Access
The MX beamlines at Diamond ( I03. I04, I04-1 and I24) have been highly automated. Most experiments are feasible remotely with minor exceptions such as humidity control or those at biological containment level III.
Full Remote Access
Until June 2021: All MX experiments will be run as fully remote, or by unattended data collection. Guidance on how experiments will be scheduled.
Mixed Access
This is a very popular mode of access where there is a mixture of a group of users at the beamline and the home lab taking turns to collect data. Please note:
Updating ISPyB and local contact - TEAM LEADERS
In both access modes (fully remote or mixed), we require the team leader of the visit to gather and collate ALL information related to the visit (number and codes of dry shippers; which pucks are in which shipper) and to ensure that it is up to date on ISPyB at least 2 days before the visit (for weekend visits: by Wednesday afternoon).
Puck Changing
Please note that in both modes of access above, time for changing pucks is part of your shift time just as if you were here. For short shifts, this time has already been pre-allocated and the scheduled time provided is when the beamline is expected to be ready for you to start experiments.
