3 3  Beamline control at the P05 µCT hutch uses TANGO server as backend for most applications. At P05 the Interactive Data Language (IDL) serves as user interface to the TANGO servers. IDL procedures and functions provide the functionality to control the µCT experiment and beamline optics components conveniently. A couple of general remarks should facilitate to work with IDL at P05.

33 +To understand the macro naming convention it helps to categorize the the acors roughly into three categories:
34 +
35 +1. Motor macros
36 +1. Info macros
37 +1. Script macros
38 +
39 +==== {{id name="Experimentcontrol-MotorMacros"/}}Motor Macros ====
40 +
41 +Motor macros loosely follow a certain naming convention according to the [[EH2 setup>>doc:P5I.User guide\: µCT at P05.µCT setup.WebHome]]:
42 +
43 +* (((
44 +commands contain a name for the stage:

82 +* Most commands are followed by a direction or rotation axis (x,y,z, rot_x, rot_y, rot_z)
83 +* (((
84 +A motor command moves either relative or absolute, e.g:
85 +
86 +{{code}}goto_s_stage_z, -10{{/code}}This moves the rotation stage to the position -10 mm in z direction.
87 +
88 +
89 +
90 +{{code}}s_stage_z, 1{{/code}}This example moves the rotation stage by 1 mm up in z direction.
91 +)))
92 +
93 +==== {{id name="Experimentcontrol-Infomacros"/}}Info macros ====
94 +
95 +These are macros that return one more values which provide information about the state of e.g. a stage or a camera.
96 +
97 +==== {{id name="Experimentcontrol-Scriptmacros"/}}Script macros ====
98 +
99 +Script macros are a collection of lower-level commands to perform a task. The most striking script macros is probably the scan macro, which perform a complete tomographic scan without any further interaction with the user.
