Description
Over a decade ago, Sardana [1] integrated generic continuous scans [2], initially meeting only basic requirements. More complex scenarios, were implemented by migrating generic logic into plugins, often relying on hooks or ad-hoc solutions. In the past year, SOLARIS Synchrotron and the Sardana Community co-hosted a collaborative continuous scans workshop [3] with participation from similar frameworks like Bliss and Flyscan, as well as various institutions. This event fostered an open exchange of experiences and approaches. Subsequently, a midterm roadmap for Sardana enhancements emerged from the workshop discussions. This paper outlines the initial steps taken along this roadmap, focusing on:
- Implementing the acquisition of experimental channels at different rates
- Introducing the concept of shutters
- Establishing primary and secondary relationships of synchronizers
These enhancements are being deployed across different beamlines at ALBA and MAXIV Synchrotrons.
