ENH Begin Transition to Bluesky Plans for Scans and DAQ Control

[gadorlhiac]

Description

• Provide Bluesky plans for basic DAQ operation and attenuator scans:
  • daq_multicount : Collect multiple DAQ runs, while posting to the eLog and waiting between them.
  • attenuator_scan_single_run: Collect an attenuator scan over a single DAQ run. The time spent at each step is adjusted such that the final statistics are similar at each transmission level.
  • attenuator_scan_multi_run: Collect an attenuator scan where each transmission level corresponds to a different DAQ run. The length of each run is adjusted so the final statistics are similar between them.
• Wrapper functions are provided which calls the above plans with the RunEngine:
  • autorun runs the daq_multicount plan.
    • Note: Runs seem to last ~1 second longer than requested.
    • Note: eLog messages are posted after the runs end. This is easier to implement but can be changed.

Motivation and Context

• General migration to use Bluesky for data collection and controls feedback.

How Has This Been Tested?

• From hutch Python with the mfx commissioning experiment, mfxx1004121, active.

Where Has This Been Documented?

• Docstring documentation at function and module level.
