FXI---scan_id is not consistent if running at two computers #189

Open gmysage opened 6 years ago

gmysage commented 6 years ago

Dear all, when I run RE(scan(...)) at xf18id-ws2, the scan_id is starting at e.g. 1632. However, if I run RE(scan(...)) at another computer, saying at xf18id-ws1, it gives me the scan_id 580. The problem is that, the old scan which was assigned to a scan_id of 580 has been overwritten when I retrieve the data using h=db[580].

Yes, that is why it is printed out as 'transient scan ID'. Use the uid instead which will be unique between sessions.
