function save_beamspec_batch(batch,batch_folder,batch_file_name)
% Saves a beamspec batch to batch_folder/batch_filename. The batch is a
% cell array of beam structures.
%
% Each beam structure has the following fields:
% beam = 
% 
%        num: 1
%      y_vec: [86.6025 50.0000 0]
%        SAD: 100

%         xp: 0.5000
%         yp: 0
%     del_yp: 1
