Cheetah is in principle facility independent.  Although extensively integrated for use at LCLS,  one only has to change the front-end file handling interface.  It is particularly suited for the reduction of serial crystallography data of all types for processing by CrystFEL.   


Here are pointers to use at facilities other than LCLS.

Cheetah at other facilities

 

Elsewhere

At other locations you will have to install Cheetah from scratch.


Installing Cheetah itself is not too hard; however installing the LCLS framework required to read XTC files directly can be an adventure.  Your mileage may vary.  Please see the developer pages for details on installing Cheetah from scratch.


Alternatively, if your data comes from somewhere other than LCLS, Cheetah can be called from code able to read any other file format: it is simply a matter of passing the frame data to Cheetah for processing. Once again, see the developer pages for more details.

SACLA

Takanori Nakane has made an excellent port of Cheetah for operation at the SACLA facility.

Best to contact SACLA directly about this one to take advantage of the latest developments.

European XFEL

Cheetah functionality, or very similar, will be available at the European XFEL when it becomes available for user operations in 2017.
