Don’t turn on file number auto-increment?

Subject: Alignment mode for AreaDetectors?

 

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
