This is the home of all custom user scripts for the NSLS-II SMI-SWAXS beamline. Historical naming conventions were to have files with the form 30-lastname.py.
We have moved all of these old files to the legacy/ directory.
Now that this is a separate repo from the profile collection, we encourage each user group to create a folder of the form
PIlastname-Institusion/
for example "Doe-NSA".
Within this directory, you are free to use whatever naming scheme you choose, although a suggestion of the date and purpose of the scripts within are encouraged, i.e. grazing_2025-2.py.
within "templates" the beamline staff will keep up to date example scripts for common measurements.
New ad hoc plans requested by users (including agent-generated scripts), beamtime setup scripts and numbered recovery scripts belong here. Use the user-group and date/purpose conventions above; keep script-specific tests and artifacts together. Reusable APIs and their documentation belong in smi-plans, rather than copying library code.
historical/ holds explicitly archived beamtime recipes. The
September/October 2026 alignment/energy archive
was relocated from the smi-plans working tree on 2026-10-02, including its restart
snapshots, timing outputs and simulation tests. It is historical material, not a
maintained template or a statement of current beamline setup.
