Add new zebra plan for fixed target pump probe #94

Closed noemifrisina closed 1 month ago

noemifrisina commented 2 months ago

Add the new zebra set up to run pump probe collections on a fastchip with long intervals between the laser and the actual collection - which means having to open and close the shutter when taking images to avoid frying the crystals over the long exposure times. (For reference in old scripts: fastchip-zebratrigger-{pilatus,eiger}-medium1)

A description of the zebra setting for this can be found here

On the edm side, a new choice has been added to the pump probe mus on the main screen (option 8 = "Medium1") and the new pump_probe screen will have a new graph (see picture below)
