It might help (my) understanding to
describe this project as consisting of a set of services (scanning
types, rastering, others?) that gathers, transforms, and
distributes data from/to instruments (possibly represented as
dynamic services themselves).

Hello,
Wayne and I are trying to figure out a
project I have proposed. The project is designed to scan
scientific hardware. I am having trouble explaining what the
project is precisely and have had a go as follows:
Scanning
allows experiments to be conducted by coordinating the
operation of scientific instruments, for example motors or
detectors. It sequences the movements of these instruments
(or devices) in order to scan different parts of the
experimental space. For instance you might scan a
temperature controller to conduct an experiment at different
temperatures or move a goniometer through a range of optical
angles or combine both in a two dimensional scan. Scanning
is useful as an open source project because the algorithms
which complete scans during experiments are the same in many
areas of research. Hardware is experiment specific so
scanning algorithms can be used in many settings, wherever
electronically controlled hardware does automated
experiments.
What
do people think of the explanation of the project? Jay Jay
Billings has suggested that using the term ‘rastering’ would
help in the explanation. What comments do you have to make
this ‘elevator pitch’ easily understandable?
Best
Regards,
Matt
