There was a High Data-Rate Macromolecular Crystallography meeting as a satellite meeting of AsCA 2018/CRYSTAL 32, a combined conference of the Asian Crystallographic Association (AsCA) and the Society of Crystallographers in Australia and New Zealand (SCANZ). See http://asca2018.org/ for details on AsCA 2018. The HDRMX meeting was held 6-7 December 2018.

Our thanks to Dectris, Ltd, of Baden-Daettwil, Switzerland for sponsorship of this meeting.

The topics we discussed included

  1. Eiger and Eiger2 output formats: Stream and Filewriter
  2. Current best practices to achieve high data rates in Eiger data collection and processing;
  3. Eiger metadata proposed changes and additions;
  4. Eiger serial crystallography performance issues;
  5. Serial data collection initiatives at SSRL and LCLS-MFX;
  6. Facilities reports
