Welcome to SPEC macros¶

NOTE

The code is written by Dr. Jacob Ruff based on SPEC certif.com. "spec is internationally recognized as the leading software for instrument control and data acquisition in X-ray diffraction experiments."

In ID4B, SPEC code is used along with python and C commands. ID4B beamline specific macros are shown below.

Important SPEC commands for ID4B¶
