VMXm: fast grid scans #323

Description

@Tom-Willemsen

Umbrella issue for fast grid scans on VMXm - subtickets to be created as work becomes clearer.

Simple fast grid scans, 2D scan at a single rotation angle, heatmaps not needed in GDA but would be liked in ispyb.

Queries/outstanding work:

  • Fast shutter control currently being done in geobrick motion program, may make more sense for GDA/bluesky to do this.
    • Two shutters - fast & slow - need coordinating correctly.
  • Still need to figure out exactly how VMXm's zebra is set up and demo a fast grid scan running & triggering the detector but setting everything up manually rather than through GDA/bluesky.
    • Scientist to add meeting next week about this.
  • Metadata:
    • aperture_scatterguard, flux, s4_slits, undulator, xbpm - not required or don't make sense for VMXm.
    • backlight just needs moving out, nothing else.
    • attenuator would be good to include on VMXm.

VMXm scientists have said they would like some basic functionality by 20th Nov as they have scheduled an experiment that would benefit from this...
