<h2>Fastscan</h2>
<p>
At some instruments there is a fastscan facility. This scan starts a
motor and the counter. As often as possible or configured, the scan
module will calculate the difference to the previous count, normalize
it to the monitor difference and print it. This is usually faster then
doing a step scan. There are limitations, though:
<ul>
<li>Fastscans are restricted to one motor. There is no way that a
coordinated movement of several motors can be enforced by fastscan
without mechanical coupling.
<li>Due to the volatile nature of the beam at SINQ, this type of scans
come into problems when the beam is off. A warning is printed, but...
<li>If the motor is driving to fast, there might not be enough
neutrons around even in the peak to be registered.
</ul>
Basically, <b>if you see a feauture in fastscan, it is there, if not,
that does not mean anything!</b>. Fastscan comes into its own for
alignment scans or when searching peaks. The syntax is:
<dl>
<dt>fastscan motor start stop speed
<dd>Runs a fastscan on motor between start and stop. Speed is the
speed with which the motor is run. The motors speed is reset to the
original value when fastscan finishes.
<dt>diffscan skip val
<dd>If fastscan produces to much output on to short intervalls,
increasing the skip parameter allows to control that. Skip is the
number of SICS cyles to skip between measurements. Thus this value is
highly dependent on the overall performance of SICS.

<h2>PSD scans</h2>
<p>
Some instrument wish to perform scans with position sensitive
detectors. In such cases the scan mode can be switched between PSD and
normal mode. This is done through the commands:
<dl>
<dt>scan2d
<dd>Switches PSAD detetcor scanning on.
<dt>scan1d
<dd>Switches back to normal scan mode on a single counter.
