Configuring the MeasurementGroup using macros from Spock

The MG can be configured from Spock using macros.

• defmeas: Create a new measurement group. First channel in channel_list MUST be an internal sardana channel. At least one channel MUST be a Counter/Timer (by default, the first Counter/Timer in the list willbecome the master).

  p09/door/haso107d1.01 [36]: defmeas mg_ivp d1_t01 d1_c01 d1_c02 d1_c03 exp_petra
  

• udefmeas: Deletes an existing measurement group.

• change_mg: Changes an existing measurement group or creates a new MG. Usage:

   
  p09/door/exp.01 [6]: %change_mg -a <addflag> -g <mgName> -t <timer> -e <extraTimer> -c <counter> -m <mca> -nd <not displayed counters> -no <no spock columns counters> -q <pilatus>
  

  • All options are optional (except timer if -a is False (clear and create MG)
  • If -g is not supplied, the active one is changed.
  • If addFlag (true or false) is not given, the MG will be cleared (addFlag False by default) and created with the given elements.
  • "Elements in a list have to be given separated by ,: eg. -c exp_ct01,exp_ct02, blank spaces are not allowed.
  • Scas can be added by using this syntax:

     
      SardanaChMg3.py -g mgtest -t eh_t01 -c eh_c01,sca_eh_mca01_100_200 -m eh_mca01
    

  • -nd counters that are not displayed.
  • -no counters that do not generate a spock column
