Showscan¶
Showscan is basically a simple HDF5 viewer application. It can be launched from
Spock using the showscan
command. Without arguments,
it will show you the result of the last scan in a GUI:
showscan
scan_number will display
data for the given scan number.
Note
The showscan
application can only read scans
saved in the HDF5 format. Moreover, it opens the first file defined in
ScanFile environment variable, so if you use multiple files, make sure
the HDF5 format one is the first one on list.
The scan files are saved on the Sardana server machine, however
showscan
is running on the client one. If it’s not
the same machine, you will need to share the scan files between machines, for
example with NFS.
Note
If the path to the file on the server is different than on the client, you should use DirectoryMap environment variable to map server paths to client paths.
