We recently introduced the concept of Multiple Synchronizations within Sardana measurement groups, expanding the framework's flexibility and capabilities. In this presentation, we revisit this concept and demonstrate how it enables the integration of diverse experimental channels that require distinct synchronization strategies like fast cameras and passive elements like shutters, lasers, or...
This live demo presents a proof-of-concept refactor of the Sardana EnvironmentManager into a modular backend system. The refactor introduces three interchangeable backends—Shelve (default), Redis, and TangoDB—while maintaining full API compatibility. Backend selection is automatically determined by the environment_db parameter prefixes (redis://, property:).
We present an analysis of current trajectory solutions in Sardana and their limitations. We will examine common features of the motor controllers used to implement trajectories (IcePAP, PMAC, Aerotech, SmarAct): coordinate systems, PVT/PT modes, G-code support, synchronization and configuration. An open discussion will be held on a new API for the MotorController and the Sardana core,...
We present a novel application of Sardana’s existing meshct macro, adapted to perform continuous 2D mesh scans using parametric trajectories executed by IcePAP motor controllers. This approach improves scan speed and uniformity by driving two coordinated axes along a predefined trajectory, controlled by a dedicated trajectory motor. One of the main challenges lies in generating, loading, and...
