0003 # this is an example which pretends to step through 10
0004 # high voltage values and is taking data for each setting.
0005 # this script generates a run-specific description file with
0006 # text and numbers which we add to the begin-run event twice,
0007 # once as a file device in packet 910, and once as a "filenumbers"
0008 # device, which is extracting the numbers in the file. The former is
0009 # easier for humans to read, the latter is easier for the analysis code
0010 # to get hold of.
0011 # This demonstrates -
0012 # - a fully automated run sequence
0013 # - adding external information to the begin-run event
