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 the position, voltage, … in predetermined way
  2. Collect data

For this common task ScopeFoundry provides several solutions. 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.

For your own Measurement from scratch consider using this shortcut.

Spatial Scanning

Create mapping measurements.

Sweeping

Out-of-the-box sweeps to collect settings, any other measurement, and more specific data collection.
