Description

@coretl

Document the following, and expand for the other verbs:

  • prepare: provide the parameters and prepare for an upcoming scan, like exposure time and number of frames for a detector including arming if hardware triggered, or the start and end position for a constant velocity scan on a single motor that moves it to the run up position
  • set: ask the device to go to a given setpoint in a software step scan
  • trigger: ask a detector to take data at a single step of a software step scan
  • kickoff: start a flyscan, for a detector this does nothing if hardware triggered, for a motor this start the motion and returns when at velocity
  • complete: wait until the flyscan is done, for a detector this waits for the frames to be written, for a motor this waits for the ramp down to finish
