MAD
MAD is a command-line based sequencer that has been developed at the ILL since the 80’s. Three different versions are available corresponding respectively to the Diffraction group (MADDIF), the Three-Axis group (TASMAD) and the Large Scale Structure plus Time-of-Flight group (MAD-C). The main difference consists in the programming language and in the technical solutions adopted by the various versions.
