    Recent and future developments on the Australian Synchrotron MX2 beamline driven by the Eiger 16M detector deployment

    The new pixel array detector — Eiger 16M — deployed on MX2 in February 2017 has now generated more than 152 Tb of data compared with 18 Tb in the same period last year using a CCD based detector. This has not only revolutionised the speed that datasets are collected but also put challenges in the way we collect, take notes, process and store data. Here we will present how some of these challenges have been tackled and what are the future developments already being worked on for deployment in the next 12 months. We will also briefly describe one of the most common traps on collecting data on the Eiger 16M.
