Automatically updating spec.log files in PyMCA about pymca

[vasole]

I have implemented a similar thing on HDF5, but it also requires a user action (click on the last scan), so it does not make any improvement.

I guess what you actually want is to have the information of the on-going scan without having to hit the refresh button.

That is accessible via shared memory for linux and Mac (not for windows).

If I remember well the SPEC commands to make things comfortable where:

SPEC> jdo sps
SPEC> shareddata

and then access the SPEC session via the SPEC icon (top right of your image) and the SPS tab.

If the sps.mac macro is missing in your SPEC installation, please let me know.

Thanks so much for the response. The SPS tab actually works well for us however is only showing the current scan. Is there a way to stay in the SpecFile tab to have the ability to look at previous scans as well while the file/plot autoupdates?

Thanks once again for your efforts into PyMCA!
