Parameters
==========
title : str
The title for the measurement. This is the only required parameter.
pos
The sample position. This can be a string with the name of
a sample position or it can be a function which moves the
detector into the desired position. If left undefined, the
instrument will take the measurement in its current
position.
thickness : float
The thickness of the sample in millimeters. The default is 1mm.
trans : bool
Whether to perform a transmission run instead of a sans run.
dae_fixed : bool
If True, then `measure` will not change the DAE mode before
starting the measurement. This is useful if you want to use
a different DAE mode than the default.
aperature : str
The aperature size. e.g. "Small" or "Medium" A blank string
(the default value) results in the aperature not being
changed.
**kwargs
This function takes two kinds of keyword arguments. If
given a block name, it will move that block to the given
position. If given a time duration, then that will be the
duration of the run.
Examples
========
>>> measure("H2O", frames=900)
Perform a SANS measurment in the current position on a 1 mm
thick water sample until the proton beam has released 900
proton pulses (approx 15 minutes).
>>> measure("D2O", "LT", thickness=2.0, trans=True, Phi=3, uamps=10)
Move to sample changer position LT, then adjust the CoarseZ
motor to 38 mm. Finally, take a transmission measurement on a
2 mm thick deuterium sample for 10 µA hours of proton
current. (approx 15 minutes).
