3.9.6. - Powder Mode

setpowder                       # Select "powder" mode
setpowder off                   # Turn "powder" mode off
setpowder motor full_width      # Specify powder motor and width


Powder mode enables you to measure intensities while a motor is scanned through some range. When turned on, powder mode affects all scans where motors are moved. If invoked without arguments setpowder prompts for the powder motor and for the full width of the rocking movement to take place at each point of the scan. Invoked with the off argument, scans return to their normal mode.
