  1. Each row lists the key parameters shown in Fig. 1, viz. the cycle time \({t}_{{{{{{\rm{cyc}}}}}}}\), the excitation and decay times \({t}_{{{{{{\rm{dec}}}}}}}\)/\({t}_{{{{{{\rm{exc}}}}}}}\), the \({{{{{\rm{\varphi }}}}}}\)-angle range \(\triangle {{{{{\rm{\varphi }}}}}}\) the crystal is rotated through during each cycle, and the time-resolution \({t}_{{{{{{\rm{acq}}}}}}}\) of the measured X-ray structures.
