Alignment mode for AreaDetectors?

["Miceli, Antonino via Tech-talk" <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi, 

The Pilatus detector had a popular mode called alignment which came with the detector SDK; essentially this mode would overwrite to the same file and continue until the stop button was pressed. 

Is there a clean/easy way to emulate this for other areadetectors? (I know I can disable all the file writing plugins.)

Thanks, 

Nino
