Scanning and Sweeping

Choose a measurement paradigm based on your needs.

Since version 2.1, ScopeFoundry provides two built in measurements in which the following cycling repeats:

  1. change a setting (i.e move an actuator) in predetermined way
  2. collect data at that setting

Read the following to decide which fits your task:

  1. For spatial scanning:

    • requires subclassing and override a view methods.
    • Natively has a concept of spatiality in 2D and 3D, which gives end-users an advanced interaction experience.

  2. For generic setting sweeping:

    • Works out of the Box! This Measurement can collect data and run other measurements without subclassing.
    • Easier to extend with additional data channels by providing a flexible data structure and composing multiple Collector classes.
    • Currently supports 2 and 4 dimensional sweeping.
