Abstract

This article is devoted to the main features of the tuning program (ICE) and the spectra visualization program (SpectraViewer) used at reflectometers of the IBR-2, Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, (FLNP JINR). The ICE program is implemented as an add-on for the control of Sonix+ software and is designed to adjust the instrument before the main measurement. The SpectraViewer program is also used on other instruments. Programs have been written using the PyQt and the graphics library matplotlib. The work has been carried out at the FLNP JINR.
