Here is some information you may find useful during your experiment.
User Office
The Diamond User Office provides lots of information that you may find useful.
Laboratory Information Management System
We use a LIMS called ispyb, which you can use to keep track of your data collections from a browser. Whilst we no longer use ispyb for data collections, it does record what is happening on the beamline and can be a useful way to check on the beamline progress from a mobile device!
