"We are very happy with the performance of PPUs in general. In fact, on MX beamlines over the two years of operation, we did not miss a single frame, which is radically different from our previous experiences with self-made data management solutions. Our users process nearly all the data on PPUs, XDS basically keeps up with the data collection."
