Instrument Scripts: do_sans and do_trans without sample changer or data collection #5816

Open DominicOram opened 4 years ago

DominicOram commented 4 years ago

As a scientist on LOQ (and potentially on SANS2D) I would like a do_sans/do_trans command that configures the instrument without moving the sample changer or taking data. e.g. on LOQ it would do the following:

do_trans() would: move Aperture2 to position ‘small’, move Monitor3 to position ‘in’, load wiring8, detector8 & spectra8 

do_sans() would: move Monitor3 to position ‘out’, move Aperture2 to position ‘medium’, load wiring35576_M4, detector35576_M4 & spectra35576_M4 

Motions executed in the order shown. And on LOQ they assumed histogram collection. 

Acceptance Criteria

For clarity, these commands would have utility on all four of the SANS instruments, so LOQ, SANS2D, ZOOM & LARMOR.

The only difference between the different instruments would be what is moved and the tables that are loaded.

LOQ: aperture, monitor & tables SANS2D & ZOOM: monitor & tables LARMOR: monitor, chopper settings & tables

Impeded awaiting a meeting to discuss SANS requirements further (being organised by SR on SANS2D)

Methods that might already partially complete the requirements. _configure_trans_custom _configure_sans_custom _generic_scan
