Set Scans

The original and standard distribution of spec comes with a macro setscans.

We have added an additional few lines to this macro.

Now the macro will ask you the following questions:

Sleep (settle) time before each scan point (0)? 
Do hklscan prescan limit-check loops (YES)? 
Show updated moving/counting during scans (NO)? 
Add Peak, COM, & FWHM data to file (NO)? 
Break individual scans off of datafile (NO)? 
Printer to use for prout output (ps3)? 

• The purpose of the extra line

 

Add Peak, COM, & FWHM data to file (NO)?

is to enable the scan summaries to be automatically added to the file(s) in the format:

#C Peak at 0.27394 is 1004.91.  COM at 7.5732.   
#C FWHM is 2.93824 at 0.13697.

 

• The purpose of the extra line

 

Break individual scans off of datafile (NO)?

is to turn each individual scan into its own file. The filename you specify in startup (eg. "my_data_") will then have incrementing numbers after it for the scan files (eg. "my_data_001.dat" "my_data_002.dat" etc...)

 

• The purpose of the extra line

 

Printer to use for prout output (ps3)?

is to set the printer for the scan output if you turn it on in startup
