<H1>SANS Special Commands</H1>
<P>
Some special initializations for SANS Instruments:
<dl>
<DT> MakeMulti name
<DD> SANS uses a special syntax feature where several motors are grouped into a
component group. For example beamstop or detector. MakeMulti creates such a
group with the name name. Once such a group has been created, it has to be
configured. For this a few configuration commands are available:
<DL>
<DT>name alias motname compname
<DD> This command makes motor motname available as component motor compname.
For example: <b>bs alias bsx x</b> makes motor bsx available as x in the beamstop
group. Then the bsx motor can be driven by the command <b>bx x = 12.</b>.
<DT> name pos posname motname value motname value ....
<DD> The group command supports the notion of named positions. This means that
a special combination of angles can be accessed through a name. This commands
defines such a named position with the name posname. posname is followed by pairs
of motorname value which define the position.
<DT>name endconfig
<DD>Once a group has been completely defined the configuration process must be
ended with endconfig.
</DL>
<DT>MakeSANSWave name velo_name
<DD>> Installs a velocity selector wavelength variable into SICS. The
variable will have the name given as first parameter. Usually lambda is a
good idea. The second parameter, velo_name, is the name of the velocity
selector which is controlled by this wavelength variable. This module contains
a hard coded formula which may only be applicable to the SANS at PSI.
<dt>MakePSDFrame
<dd>This installs a command into SICS which allows to retrieve a detector
image from the histogram memory, even in TOF-mode.
</dl>
Many other commands for controlling collimators, attenuators, beamstops
and shutters are implemented in Tcl. These commands use non standardizable
hardware such as the Siematic SPS.
