bluesky.plans.adaptive_scan

bluesky.plans.adaptive_scan(detectors, target_field, motor, start, stop, min_step, max_step, target_delta, backstep, threshold=0.8, *, md=None)[source]

Scan over one variable with adaptively tuned step size.

Parameters
detectorslist

list of ‘readable’ objects

target_fieldstring

data field whose output is the focus of the adaptive tuning

motorobject

any ‘settable’ object (motor, temp controller, etc.)

startfloat

starting position of motor

stopfloat

ending position of motor

min_stepfloat

smallest step for fast-changing regions

max_stepfloat

largest step for slow-chaning regions

target_deltafloat

desired fractional change in detector signal between steps

backstepbool

whether backward steps are allowed – this is concern with some motors

thresholdfloat, optional

threshold for going backward and rescanning a region, default is 0.8

mddict, optional
