ascan

motor scan

SYNOPSIS

ascan (motor start end)xN intervals time

DESCRIPTION

ascan scans one or more motors, as specified by the arguments. Each motor is specified by a mnemonic, start position and end position. By default, motors can also be specified by motor number, but that option can be disabled by setting the global variable NO_MV_MOT to a nonzero value. The step size is (start-end)/intervals. The number of data points collected will be intervals+1. Count time is given by time, which if positive, specifies seconds and if negative, specifies monitor counts.
