a3scan

three-motor scan

SYNOPSIS

a3scan m1 start1 end1 m2 start2 end2 m3 start3 end3 intervals time

DESCRIPTION

a3scan scans three motors, as specified by m1, m2 and m3. Each motor moves the same number of intervals with starting and ending positions given by start1 and end1, start2 and end2, start3 and end3, respectively. The step size for each motor is (start-end)/intervals. The number of data points collected will be intervals+1. Count time is given by time, which if positive, specifies seconds and if negative, specifies monitor counts.

EXAMPLE

a3scan tab1 0 10 tab2 0 10 tab3 0 10 20 10
