A versatile and easy-to-use computer software package has been developed for equipment control, data acquisition and analysis at the MATRIX X-18A x-ray scattering beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source. The software runs on any IBM-compatible personal computer running under MS-DOS and makes use of the GPIB and AT-Bus interfaces. The menu-driven program is user friendly for a wide range of x-ray experiments through control of all aspects of the x-ray beamline. Equipment interfaces include counter-timer, stepping motor controllers, multichannel analyzer, and temperature controller. Real space and reciprocal space scans are possible, as well as an external file scan, which allows control of up to six diffractometer motions plus the energy simultaneously. Orientation matrix calculations, peak fitting routines, and an extensive help file system are included. Plans are presently underway to upgrade the software to run under Windows NT. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
