<h2>R&#252;nbuffer Commands</h2>
<p>
LNS scientists have got used to using R&#252;nbuffers for instrument control. A R&#252;nbuffer is an array of SICS commands which typically represent a measurement. This R&#252;nbuffer can be edited at run time. This is very similar to a macro. In contrast to a macro only SICS commands are allowed in R&#252;nbuffers. When done with editing the R&#252;nbuffer it can be entered in a R&#252;nlist. This is a stack of R&#252;nbuffers which get executed one by one. While this is happening it is possible (from another client) to modify the R&#252;nlist and edit and add additional R&#252;nbuffer on top of the stack. This allows for almost infinite measurement and gives more control than a static batch file. In order to cater for this scheme three commands have been defined:</p>
