countheader:

The countheader command is used to specify the headers for the data/logfiles.  This is only effective in the countfile and scanon structures - the headers are ignored for normal scans.  When envoked, each count in the data/logfile will have the specified name attached to the input channel name (i.e. detector_name1, etc.).  The syntax for the countheader command is:

     countheader header1 header2 ...

where header1, header2, ... are the headers for the data/logfile.

As an example, the command:

     countheader count1 count2

will generate headers in the datafile (for a scan using either the countfile or scanon structure) of the form:

   detector_count1   monitor_count1   time_count1   detector_count2   monitor_count2   time_count2

For more detailed information about countfiles, see the How to use countfiles guide and for further information about the scanon structure, see the  How to create a custom scan guide.
