You may DISCO_scan the grating monochromator with e.g.:

Examples

(Test cases in bold)

• TestScan: mxrun SOLEIL_DISCO.instr -N21 DISCO_x_screw=20,103 DISCO_scan=1 -n1e6 Detector: Wavelength_I={21 values}
• Test: DISCO_grazing_angle_one=22.5 -n 1e5 Detector: DISCO_second_HFP_I=1.104e+16

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
DISCO_grazing_angle_one	deg	Mirrors M1/M2 rotation angle	22.5
