  The 4B beamline of the Pohang Light Source-II performs X-ray microdiffraction and microfluorescence experiments using X-ray microbeams. When performing X-ray micro-experiments, an X-ray microbeam should first be prepared. Up to recently, the microbeams with vertical and horizontal sizes (full width at half maximum) of less than 3 μm have been achieved, by manually adjusting the translations and pitch angles of the vertically and horizontally focusing mirrors, in a Kirkpatrick'Baez (K-B) mirror system. In this research, we developed a program that automates the complex and cumbersome process of microbeam focusing, divided into half-cutting and focusing phases. The developed program was applied to the 4B beamline and enabled the focusing of an X-ray beam to a minimum size within one hour. This paper introduces the algorithms of the program and also examines its performance.
