Meeting the software needs of scientists since 1985
Experiments need to be configurable and flexible. Speed and ease are even more important with the
limited beam time at a synchrotron. spec's quick and simple configuration
and powerful (but easy to use) macro language create an ideal environment to set up new
experiments as well as to manage routine measurements.
Unlike most home-grown or public-domain software, spec is
well-documented and backed by committed support.

spec
is internationally recognized as the leading software for instrument control
and data acquisition in X-ray diffraction experiments.
It is used at more than 200 synchrotrons, industrial laboratories,
universities and research facilities around the globe.
Since 1987, CSS has worked extensively with hundreds of clients to develop features and functionality tailored to their needs. Currently, spec provides flexible, powerful and reliable instrument control at more than 575 X-ray and neutron diffractometers worldwide. Our broad user base has given CSS a unique understanding of the challenges our customers face, the hardware they use, and the software they need.
spec is successful for a diverse community because it has the ideal balance of built-in functionality and customizable features. spec offers researchers an adaptable tool equally adept when developing new procedures, changing strategy in response to unexpected results, or automating well understood tasks.

Included with spec is the C-PLOT Scientific Graphics and Data Analysis package.
Used together, spec and C-PLOT can take you from instrument control and data acquisition,
through data analysis, to preparation of figures for publication. C-PLOT is also available separately.
