Scans

The scan syntax is like on TASMAD.

Arguments of SC:

1. any driveable variable, and its center value
2. any step (D immediately followed by the variable name)
3. NP followed by the number of points
4. MN or TI followed by the monitor or time preset value

Examples:

• energy scan (the following two beeing equivalent))
  > scan qh 1 0 0 0 dqh 0 0 0 0.01 np 5 mn 1000
  > scan qh 1 0 0 en 0 den 0.01 np 5 mn 1000

• q scan (the following two beeing equivalent))
  > scan qh 1 0 0 0 dqh 0 0.01 0 0 np 5 mn 1000
  > scan qh 1 0 0 0 dqh 0 0.01 0 np 5 mn 1000

• motor scan with time preset
  > scan a3 25 a4 50 da3 0.1 da4 0.2 np 11 ti 1

The q-, energy and motor values give the center of the scans, np is the total number of points. If np is even, the scan center is between the two points in the middle.

Like on drive commands, qh, q3 and qe may be used. For all scanned variables, the corresponding step must be given. ti may be used instead of mn for time preset.

It is not allowed to omit np, and either mn or ti have to be present

Polarised scans:

> polscan script qh qh qk ql en dqh dqh dqk dql den np np mn mn

The script contains all what has to be done at one scan point. Its exact syntax is still open.
