mda-info − prints out information about a MDA file
mda-info [−hvs] file
mda-info is a utility for seeing certain information about MDA files, which are created by saveData in EPICS. Things such as scan time, dimensionality, positioners, detectors, and triggers are shown. For each trigger, positioner, and detector there is both a number and, located in parentheses, the PV field number used in saveData. Unless one of the options is used, mda-info needs only file, the name of the MDA file. If a file is irregular, it is stated as such and the actual overall scan size is shown, taken from the individual scans themselves.
The program by default will check the validity of the entire file, but minimal checking can be enabled to save time.
