new tseries plan for multiple samples #162

Open adelezh opened 5 years ago

adelezh commented 5 years ago

scan plan for multi-battery in situ experiment(xpdAcq) and separate livewaterfall window for each sample(xpdAn)

Expected Behavior

multiple samples mounted on multi-battery holder, [sample1 position1], [sample2 position2], [sample3 position3]...

  1. move sample holder to position 1, do a scan with sample 1, then move to position 2 do a scan with sample2...until the last sample.
  2. pause a delay time
  3. repeat 1 and 2 until repeat times
  4. have shutter close/open options like tseries
  5. xpdAn could have separate windows to show livewaterfall for each sample

Current Behavior

current we have a script to do the experiment, but

  1. we have to put xrun in a loop, which is not the best way to do
  2. xpdAn only show one scan, we could not see the phase change during the experiment
  3. we also tried bluesky scan plan, but bluesky plan keep the shutter open all the time so have strong burn at detector when moving between battery cells.

Thank you for reporting! I think this might be similar to #137. I think the way forward for this is to have the run engine issue and keep track of multiple run starts at once. This way each position can be its own run start, with a series of events internally which are just that's position series of data.
