+The SpecTcl Control has been adapted for special functions required for the analysis of S800 data. SpecTcl can be open by from computer [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]] by clicking in the icon **SpecTcl** located in its desktop, or from a Linux terminal by typing ''gospectcl''.
+Spectra definition files can be found in directory **/user/s800/s800spectcl/Definitions**. Some pre-defined windows with useful spectra can be found in directory **/user/s800/s800spectcl/Windows**.
+The figure below shows the GUI control of the S800 analysis.
-The inverse map which enables the trajectory reconstruction of the particles within the spectrograph beam line can be loaded. Snapshots of CRDC and TPPAC events sampled in the pads and strips can be viewed. If this option is "armed", the sample is read out for the first event that falls into the specified gate. This is a diagnostics tool to analyze the response of the CRDCs and TPPACs.

-Important Variables
+==== Frequently used variables for S800 SpecTcl ====
 (to be set on the "Variables" page of the GUI)
  for the CRDCs (n=1,2 for crdc1 and crdc2):
-•	s800.fp.crdcn
-o	.x_offset: offset in the x calibration, chosen to center the "beam hole" (see mask calibration) at 0 mm.
-o	.x_slope: the slope of the x calibration. This value is always 2.54 mm/pad since the geometry of the pads inside the CRDCs is fixed

-o	.y_slope: y slope in mm/ns to be determined from the mask calibration
-•	s800.fp.crdcn.calc

-o	.method: 1 sets "center of gravity" as method to determine the x position from the charge distribution in the pads, 2 enables the usage of the fit method
+    * **.x_offset**: offset in the x calibration, chosen to center the "beam hole" (see mask calibration) at 0 mm.
-o	.gravity_width: sets the number of pads used to determine the center of gravity

+===== S800 SpecTcl installation in S800 computer =====
+Before installing the S800 SpecTcl make sure to contact the S800 Device Physicist (Jorge Pereira). The process  requires special password permits. Make sure to contact Jorge Pereira (pereira@nscl.msu.edu) or, Ron Fox (fox@nscl.msu.edu), or Giordano Cerizza (cerizza@nscl.msu.edu) for assistance.
+In order to install S800 SpecTcl in the S800 computer, follow the following steps:
+  - Check that the environment variable SPECTCLBINDIR is well defined: '' echo $SPECTCLBINDIR '' should give you **/user/s800/s800spectcl**. If that's not the case, edit .bashrc and define the variable (make sure to source .bashrc afterwards).
+  - Go to **~/s800develop/s800spectcl_develop** and clean its content
+  - Clone the master branch from the remote repository: ''git clone git@git.nscl.msu.edu:pereira/s800spectcl.git master'' (NOTE: the deployment of this repository is password protected)
+  - Type ''Make -f Make.s800 Install''. This Makefile does the following:
+            - Goes to subdirectory **/libnumrec**, runs make clean, and make LIBLITE (to clear objects and create library libnumreclite.a and moves the library to the **../src** subdirectory
+            - Goes to subdirectory **/src**, runs make clean, and make (this creates the SpecTcl binary) and moves it to the Main directory (up)
+            - Creates SpecTcl-running directory defined in **SPECTCLBINDIR=/user/s800/s800spectcl**, along with subdirectories **/Windows** and **/Definitions**.
+            - Moves "control" tcl files from Main directory into **/user/s800/s800spectcl**, along with executable SpecTcl; Xamine6.ctbl to the home directory; windows files to **/Windows** and s800xdt.tcl to **/Definitions** .
+  - This gets the software necessary to run SpecTcl ready in directory **/user/s800/s800spectcl**.
+  - SpecTcl can now be run just by typing ''gospectcl'' from any terminal
