a4scan

four-motor scan

SYNOPSIS

a4scan m1 start1 end1 m2 start2 end2 m3 start3 end3 start4 end4 intervals time

DESCRIPTION

a4scan scans four motors, as specified by m1, m2, m3 and m4. Each motor moves the same number of intervals with starting and ending positions given by start1 and end1, start2 and end2, start3 and end3, start4 and end4, respectively. The step size for each motor is (start-end)/intervals. The number of data points collected will be intervals+1. Count time is given by time, which if positive, specifies seconds and if negative, specifies monitor counts.
