Important spec commands and macros for ID2A - PIPOXS
| Command | Description | Example |
| Basic Commands | ||
| cd | Unix command, changes current directory | cd goodData |
| pwd | Unix command, prints the current directory | pwd |
| Moving Motors, Running Macros | ||
| wm MotorName | Returns the current position of the motor indicated by MotorName | wm sampleZ |
| we | Returns the positions of all currently configured motors | we |
| umv MotorName N | Moves the MotorName motor to the indicated N value | umv sampleZ 5 |
| umvr MotorName N | Moves the MotorName motor N units relative to its current position | umvr sampleZ -6 |
| ct T | Counts for T seconds; no motors are moved | |
| tseries N T | Counts for N points, collecting for T seconds per point; no motors are moved | tseries 60 0.5 |
| do macro.mac | Runs the macro found in macro.mac file | do raster.mac |
| newfile fileName | Creates a new file named fileName in the current directory; if fileName already exists, data is appended to the existing file | newfile bestDataEver |
| ctrl+c | Cancels whatever scan or motor move is currently in progress | ctrl+c |
| Performing Motor Scans | ||
| dscan MotorName X Y N T | Scans the MotorName motor from X to Y relative to its starting position, taking N points and counting T seconds per point | dscan xesuana -3 3 20 1 |
| ascan MotorName X Y N T | Scans the MotorName motor from absolute position X to absolute position Y, taking N points and counting T seconds per point | ascan xesuana -10 -7 20 1 |
| d2scan Motor1 X1 Y1 Motor2 X2 Y2 N T | This is a dscan that scans two motors at the same time | d2scan xesdana -1 1 xesddet -2 2 40 1 |
| fscan fileName.txt T | Performs the scan defined in fileName.txt, counting for T seconds per point | fscan mainline.txt 3 |
| Moving and Scanning Incident Energy | ||
| moveE N | Moves the monochromator to the indicated N energy in keV | moveE 7.112 |
| moveUE N | Moves the undulator to the indicated N energy in keV | moveUE 7.112 |
| getE | Prints the current monochromator energy | getE |
| flyescan scanName.txt | Performs a monochromator energy flyscan as defined in scanName.txt; this is the preferred means of energy scanning! | flyescan MnEXAFS.txt |
| Escan start stop N T | Macro that performs a scan of the incident energy from start to stop in keV, with N number of points and a count time of T seconds per point | Escan 7.10 7.15 150 1 |
| EscanU start stop N T | Same as Escan but here the undulator moves to match the monochromator energy | EscanU 7.10 7.15 150 1 |
| define_scan | Macro for the creation of multi-segment incident energy scans | define_scan |
| show_scan | Displays the currently configured multi-segment incident energy scan | show_scan |
| alter_scan | Macro to modify the currently configured multi-segment incident energy scan | alter_scan |
| start | Command to run a single scan as defined in define_scan | start |
| mstart N | Command to run N consecutive scans, on the same sample spot, as defined in define_scan | mstart 3 |
