Add capability to define "Scan Description" as a custom string #16

Closed chhh closed 1 year ago

chhh commented 6 years ago

This is very useful for debugging custom methods, e.g. to figure out which why did I schedule that custom scan in the first place.

Yes, this would be a useful addition to the API. It supports up to a maximum of 20-characters, will that be sufficient for your needs?

chhh commented 6 years ago

Having 20 chars is better than having no chars :)

This is now working for Tribrids in Tune version 4.0. You can add a scan description by doing scan.Values["ScanDescription"] = "MyScan";

You only get 16 characters though, not the previously mentioned 20. :)

This will be more properly documented soon.
