NeXus Macros

As an alternative to the Component Selector to prepare the NeXus Recorder Profile (and Measurement Group) the user can use the following sardana macros (from nxsmacros.py):

lsprof or nxsprof – lists the current profile
```
p09/door/haso107d1.01 [1]: lsprof
```
nxsettimers – sets the current profile timers
nxset – selects the given detector components (profile and MG)
spock> nxset exp_t01 exp_c01 exp_mca01 pilatus
nxsadd – adds the given detector components
nxsrm – deselects the given detector components
nxsclr – removes all detector components from the current profile
nxsetappentry – sets the append entry flag for the current profile

nxsetudata – sets the given user data

The command lsprof checks whether all user data have been supplied:

p09/door/haso107d1.01 [1]: lsprof
   Profile (MntGrp): mg_tk1

                   Timer(s)                                                      d1_t01
        Detector Components                                    d1_c01, d1_c02, d1_mca01
     Descriptive Components                                        chi, slit1, beamline
       Mandatory Components                                                     default
                  User Data           {'sample_name': 'ice', 'chemical_formula': 'H2O',
                                                                     'title': 'liquid'}
                AppendEntry                                                       False
             SelectorServer                                p09/nxsrecselector/haso107d1
               ConfigServer                               p09/nxsconfigserver/haso107d1
               WriterServer                                 p09/nxsdatawriter/haso107d1

Profile is not set by nxselector(nxsmacros) or MntGrp has been changed
An error occurred while running Macro 'lsprof() -> c34b585e-2c8f-11e6-be3c-901b0e39aa90':
Exception: User Data not defined ['beamtime_id']

In this case beamtime_id has to be supplied:

p09/door/haso107d1.01 [2]: nxsetudata beamtime_id 45678

p09/door/haso107d1.01 [3]: lsprof
