Chapter 7. ICP Commands

ICE is able to recognize user commands and scripts written in the ICP language. The following chapter describes ICP commands which are currently supported by ICE software. For each command, we provide a brief description, full command path, possible arguments, and references to related commands.

AM

Brief Description

Scans a device over a given range to find device position at which maximum intensity is reached. If a peak is found, a fit can be done, and the zero of the scanning motor is reset appropriately. AM command measures intensity by the counts coming in on the monitor.

Full Command Path

Usage: AM [Motor],[Range],[Step size],[Counts],[Tolerance],[Max iteration]

Required Parameters

[Motor] is an integer that specifies the motor selected for the scan.

[Range] is the device range centered at current device position.

[Step size] is the length between two adjacent device positions in the scan. The number of points in the scan will be set to [Range]/[Step size].

[Counts] specifies the number of monitor counts (if [Counts] is greater than zero) or the number of seconds (if [Counts] is less than zero) till which count is performed at every device position.

[Tolerance] specifies tolerance of the selected motor. (Optional)

[Max iteration] specifies the maximum number of iterations. (Optional)
