This may be useful when steering the sensor into x-ray beam for instance.

First, ensure the boardstack is powered, programmed and configured.

Then, make sure the ".config" file in ~/build/uh-svn-repo/trunk/software/b2l/scripts_dev/ has a line declaring the xrm_mode is "sweep" and plot_continuous is set to 1 and xrm_run_continuous is set to 1:

xrm_run_continuous=1
plot_continuous=1
be_verbose_when_collecting_data=1
xrm_mode="sweep"

After that, to acquire data, simply run ./xrm.py from ~/build/uh-svn-repo/trunk/software/b2l/scripts_dev/ (see attachment for example output).
