This page is the home of the synApps sscan module. This module contains the sscan record and related software for systematically moving positioners, triggering detectors, and acquiring and storing resulting data. It also contains the recDynLink library, which is used by the sscan and swait records to implement their links; and the busy record, which allows CA clients to indicate completion in a way that works with EPICS putNotify/ca_put_callback mechanism.

Please email any comments and bug reports to Tim Mooney, who is responsible for coordinating development and releases.
You can download the software from the links in the table below:
sscan version | Required module | Recommended release | Type of dependency |
|
seq | 2-1-16 or 2-2 | only for scanProgress |
|
seq | 2-1-12 | only for scanProgress |
After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules are needed).
gunzip sscan_R2-5-2.tar.gzUsually this is done in an EPICS 'support' directory. It will produce the subdirectory
tar xvf sscan_R2-5-2.tar
sscan/2-5-2
