### Orchestra Detector
An Orchestra detector is a special type of **readOnly** positioner that uses Orchestra to sample the most recent value of an "Epics" or "Tango" data channel with no waiting. An Orchestra detector being configured as a type of positioner is an historical artefact that may be corrected in future. This can be used, for example, to monitor the synchrotrons storage ring current that is provided via an EPICS channel on a pixel-by-pixel basis with minimal overhead.
**orchestraDetector**::<BR>
&emsp;Strinf value defines the name of the Orchestra controller that will perform the value sampling.<BR>
&emsp;**Default**: empty string
**orchestraDetectorChannelIndex**::<BR>
&emsp;Integer value defines the orchestra channel to be used for the value sampling. <BR>
&emsp;**Default**: -1
**orchestraDetectorMonitor**::<BR>
&emsp;Boolean value defines if the positioner values should be recorded in the scan file as a monitor.<BR>
