We are in the preliminary stages of looking at detector driven
acquisition. That is, when the detector registers an event, read the
current position values and time and store the event with all this info
in a table that can be parsed into "cells" later on. The positioners
can then run at a constant speed. If a longer "dwell" time is needed,
one can scan the area multiple times.
There is a heavy burden on the software, but at this early stage, the
hardware looks manageable enough.

What aproaches are people taking to performing on-the-fly scans? What
I mean is, a scan in which one launches a motor move and reads a
detector as the motor is moving, rather than the more typical step-scan.
