\subsection{Amor Scan}
This is a special adaption of the general scan routines for the
reflectometer AMOR at SINQ. It works by replacing the configurable
routines in the general scan command with special ones, suited to the
reflectometers purpose. There are several adaptions to the standard
scan command:
\begin{itemize}
\item Data is written to NeXus files instead of ASCII files.
\item There are two counters to keep track of.
\item Furthermore stubs are provided for dealing with spin flippers.
\end{itemize}
In order to keep track of counters and monitors the following
convention has been devised:
\begin{itemize}
\item GetCounts gets the main detector.
\item GetMonitor 0 the second detector
\item GetMonitor 1 the first detector other spin
\item GetMonitor 2 the second detector other spin
\item GetMonitor 3 the first monitor
\item GetMonitor 4 the second monitor
\end{itemize}
Thus the monitor channels are used to keep the additional counter
information.
This module provides only one external function:

\item Macro referenced in scrap ?.

\end{minipage}\\[4ex]
\end{flushleft}
which configures the variable fields and function pointers in pScan to
functions defined in this module. These then do the right thing. This
module is also an example of how the scan command can be configured to do
tricks based on the syntax and hooks defined in scan.*.
