Support for 11.0.1.2 batch scans #90

Open pdudenas opened 1 year ago

pdudenas commented 1 year ago

A common measurement mode at 11.0.1.2 is to queue up scans in a batch, which leads to hundreds of images across 10s of samples in a file series. Rather than loading all the files into a single DataArray, it would be useful to down select the file series based on metadata (sample number, SDD, etc.) before loading them into memory.

So there is already support for this, albeit poorly documented - look at the md_filter kwarg to loadFileSeries. as long as you set the sample ID motor in your run you can filter on a specific sample ID. Let me know if that isn’t working or if I’ve misunderstood the scope of this.

Ah yup you're right. The combo of md_filter and file_filter works great. Maybe I'll amend this to add a function similar to summarize_run from the DB loader

That would be great! If you can document this that would be really good as well.
