<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.
