A multi‐frame, X‐ray diffraction (XRD) detector system has been developed for use in time‐resolved XRD measurements during single‐event experiments at the Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The system is capable of collecting four sequential XRD patterns separated by 153 ns, the period of the APS storage ring in the 24‐bunch mode. This capability allows an examination of the temporal evolution of material dynamics in single‐event experiments, such as plate impact experiments, explosive detonations, and split‐Hopkinson pressure bar experiments. This system is available for all user experiments at the DCS. Here, the system description and measured performance parameters (detective quantum efficiency, spatial and temporal resolution, and dynamic range) are presented along with procedures for synchronization and image post‐processing.
