An unstructured measurement process might deliver the needed quantity of primary data for an experiment. But the achievement of the scientific results depends more and more from the offered opportunities of embedding these measurement data into its specific context with a meta data description and a complete life cycle management. Obviously the design of a measurement process influences the potential applicability of an experimental setup for its scientific purpose and of course its options to fulfill a contemporary data management. ANKA's Tango based environment offers in principal varying approaches with different implementation efforts and coverage of scientific or information technology requirements. At ANKA we have set up a smart structured measurement process which stand out due to its seamless integration into the overall data management, the support of recent control concepts for fast data generation as well as its support of well time-tested SPEC based scan systems. The presented measurement process focuses to the minimal implementation for all involved components without a break of well accepted habits.

X-ray imaging permits spatially resolved visualization of the 2D and 3D structure in materials and organisms which is crucial for the understanding of their properties. Additional resolution in the time domain gives insight in the temporal structure evolution and thus access to dynamics of processes allowing to understand functionality of devices and organisms and to optimize technological processes. Such time resolved dynamic analyses ofμsize structures became now possible by the new ultrafast tomography at the TopoTomo beamline of the synchrotron light source ANKA. At TopoTomo the whole experimental workflow has been significant improved in order to decrease the total duration time of a tomography experiment in a range of minutes. To aim the goal of a Tango based control system for ultra fast tomography with a data throughput of several 100 MB/s, detectors and computing infrastructure have been optimized. Multi GPU based computing allows a high speed data processing by using a special reconstruction scheme. Furthermore data management infrastructure will allow a life cycle management of data sets accumulating to several TByte/day.
