Module for reading MDA files.

Typically an MDA file a binary file composed of the following structure: - MDA:

• MDAHeader

• Scan

  • ScanHeader

    • Positioners

    • Detectors

    • Triggers

  • ScanData

Contains the following classes: - DBR: Enumerate for the type of the parameter in the MDA file. - MDAHeader: Container for header data in an MDA file. - MDAPositioner: Container for positioner attributes in an MDA file (i.e. Independent Variable). - MDADetector: Container for detector attributes in an MDA file (i.e. Dependent Variable). - MDATrigger: Container for trigger attributes in an MDA file. - MDAScanHeader: Container for scan header data in an MDA file. - MDAScan: A class to store a scan header and data from an MDA file. - MDAFileReader: A class to read / load MDA files.
