Scheduling Scans¶
The following rules are applied to the scheduler table:
If in the row no scan parameters are provided then the current scantool settings are applied. In other words, the last scan is repeated.
The attribute Template defines a scantool template that will be loaded before the scan.
The attribute Repeat Type together with Duration defines how the scans are repeated. Loop will repeate scans n times where n is the Duration attribute. Time will execute scans for the time in seconds defined as Duration.
Enabling Reverse Direction will swap the start and stop positions after each scan.
If useDAQ is True then a DAQ run will be started before the first queue item and stopped after the last queue item.
