	In order to meet the tight SPEAR 3 accelerator commissioning schedule, a software package was assembled to streamline experimental measurements and data analysis. At the heart of the software is a MATLAB "middle layer" with an element definition database and channel access link for fast and easy communication with the EPICS control system. Originally adapted from work at the ALS, the middle layer allows direct control from the MATLAB command line, use in the form of short "scripts" for specific experiments and integration into high-level application programs. The revised software is also machine-independent. This paper outlines the software architecture and provide examples with results from the SPEAR 3 accelerator commissioning effort.

	Starting in April, 2003, the SPEAR2 storage ring was removed and replaced with a new 500 mA, 3 GeV light source, SPEAR3. The SPEAR2 storage ring had been in use for high energy physics, then synchrotron radiation since 1972. Commissioning of SPEAR3 started on December 8, 2003 and synchrotron radiation will be delivered to the first users on March 8, 2004. SPEAR3 commissioning will be reviewed, including discussion of diagnostics, orbit control, optics correction and high current studies.

	On December 15, 2003, 8 1/2 months after the last electrons circulated in the old SPEAR2 storage ring and 5 days after the beginning of commissioning, the first electrons were accumulated in the completely new SPEAR3 ring. The rapid installation and commissioning is a testimony to the SPEAR3 project staff and collaborators who have built an excellent machine and equipped it with powerful and accessible machine modeling and control programs. The final year of component fabrication, system implementation and testing, the 7-month installation period leading up to the beginning of commissioning, and lessons learned are described.
