Summary of Request

A user with a newly created [DESY_ACCOUNT] requires access to the following software tools on the Maxwell cluster for data processing: 1. ADXV – For reading frames collected at P24. 2. EVAL15 – For SXRD (surface X-ray diffraction) data processing. 3. combinecbf – For binning data collected at P24. 4. ImageJ – For data processing at P22.


Solution/Next Steps

  1. ADXV
  2. Already available on the Maxwell cluster.
  3. Access: Load the xray module (module load xray) or invoke directly via /opt/xray/bin/adxv.
  4. Variants: adxv_3X (for large displays) and adxv_nogl (X11-only) are also available in the same directory.
  5. Documentation: Adxv User Manual.

  8. combinecbf

  9. Not mentioned in the context. The user should:

    • Verify if it is part of a larger software suite (e.g., CrysAlisPro or similar).
    • Request installation via the Maxwell ticket system if unavailable.
  10. ImageJ

  11. Likely available but not detailed in the context. The user can:
    • Search for it via module avail or check the DESY software downloads.
