MxLIVE (Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory Virtual Environment) is a development platform and web application for managing synchrotron visits from experiment planning and organisation to shipment tracking to data and analysis access.
Source code can be found at https://github.com/katyjg/mxlive.
MxLIVE relies on MxDC as a source of meta-data from data collection sessions on the beamline, and acts as a resource from which MxDC can fetch sample information. While this close-coupling is tailored to MxDC, all connections are handled through the use of APIs, so other data collection applications could also be modified to complement MxLIVE.
The beginnings of MxLIVE were at CMCF, a suite of beamlines at the Canadian Light Source dedicated to Macromolecular Crystallography. For that reason, many features have been developed in an MX context, but can easily be extended to new sample container layouts and new data types or techniques at any beamline.
