Example 2
scan.create()
for column = 1, 10 do
scan.add(channel.createspecifier(1,1,colum
n))
end
Replaces the active scan list with an empty
scan list.
Loops through column 1 to 10 on row 1 of slot
1 to add ten channels to the scan list. The
channel.createspecifier()
command
generates the parameters.
The scan list now has, in order, row 1,
columns 1 through 10, on slot 1.

Details
Before using this command, use
scan.create()
and
scan.add()
or
scan.addimagestep()
to set up a
scan list.
Execution runs until the scan is complete or until the
abort
command is sent.
Because this function waits for the scan to complete, the
scan.state()
function cannot be used to see the current status of scanning.
