If you plan to run multiple spots per sample, or need to include multiple motor moves, creating queues from scratch can take a bit of time. Due to this, we have incorporated a CSV import capability.

Notes on creating a CSV for importing to make new queues:

Each CSV import corresponds to one queue. You must have columns called:

  • Region (region file name)
  • Detector (detector file name)
  • Num Scans
  • File Name (will use for exp and data file name)
  • Sample Information (not required but these will go into the comments fields)

To include motor moves, include columns called:  MOTOR (MOTOR NAME)


When you save your csv, ensure that this is a file which webxas will open. Stay safe, use no spaces (- or _ work, though!)


For annotated screenshot of what an appropriate CSV file may look like:

To access CSV importing in WebXAS:

  • Within the data collector window, one of the first blocks is the Queue Manager:
  • First open "Queue Wizard" from the Queue Manager window
