[Daqpp-forum] scans

[Andrej S. <and...@ij...>]

Hi Carlos, everyone!

I have a question. In what way is it possible to tamper with the scan
modality of VMEDAQ?

Let me illustrate. What I have here is a scintillator camera which needs
to be recallibrated from time to time. To do that, we use a XY table and
record N=3D3000 events at a set of different positions (PMT centers,
orthogonal grids, etc.). I am tempted to use VMEdaq to do that. But my
user supplied scan routine should call external functions (move the motor=
,
parse and analyze the data, move to next position) at each position. I
think it fits nicely into a scan philosophy. So, my question is: can I do
that and if I can, what guidelines should I follow.

A happy monday to everyone

Andrej
