Description:

Documentation:
Use these macro to speed up scans. By default, SPEC reads all counter for a scan point, whether it is plotted or not. By skipping the readout of uninteresting counters, the duration scans can be reduced considerately. Also "pseudo" motors can cause a substantial software overhead. These macros allow you to optimize SPEC for a certain subset of motors and counters "on the fly" without making modifications in the configuration editor. INTERNALS Information whether a specific motor or counter should be enabled or disable after "reconfig" is stored in the ESRF data base under "ID9/motor/spec_mot1", if it is a motor is called "mot1" and "ID9" the beamline name. If you have different SPEC configurations "spec" is replaced by the configuration name. | ||||||
Macros:
Usage: disable mnemonic [mnemonic ...] This macro can be used for counters and motors. It is usefull for speeding up scans by disabling the readout of counters which are currently not used. As arguments you may use motor or counter mnemonics in any order, as well as the key word "all", "all motors", "all counters", "except","only" "but not" and "and". For example, you can specify "disable all except ywire posmon and posy" or "disable all counters but not pd3". Use "?" to get list of enable counters/motors enable Usage: enable mnemonic [mnemonic ...] Undo "disable". The same key words as for "disable" are allowed, e.g. "enable only ywire posmon and posy". disable_setup Usage: disable_setup Normally "config" or "reconfig" would re-enable all counters and motors which were disabled. Include this macro into your "setup" file if you do not want this to happen. Make sure that the line "disable_setup" is at the end of the "setup" file because some macros as "adcsetup" or "elmetersetup" will re-enable counters as well. disable_undo Usage: disable_undo restores the motors/counters state just before last called of enable/disable macros. | ||||||
| Internal Macros: | ||||||
Usage: _disable %MDESC% _enable Usage: _enable %MDESC% disable_save Usage: disable_save() Save into a global variable the current disable status of motors/counters. It is called from the disable and enable macros, disable_counter Usage: disable_counter ("cnt",1|0) sets or clears the the "disable" flag for the counter "cnt". If the second parameter is 1 the counter is disabled if it is 0 the counter is enabled. Also, the current state of the counter is saved in the ESRF data base. disable_motor Usage: disable_motor ("mot",0|1) sets or clears the the "disable" flag for the motor "mot". If the second parameter is 1 the motor is disabled if it is 0 it is enabled. Also, the current state of the motor is saved in the ESRF data base. | ||||||
