mda2idd_report documentation

Many sectors of the APS use the EPICS [1] sscan record [2] from synApps [3] to collect their experimental data. The saveData process [4] runs in an EPICS IOC to store the sscan record data into binary files using the MDA [5] format.

This support provides a tool to read those MDA files and, for 1-D and 2-D scans, write the scan into ASCII text files according to the expected layout provided by a previous program (yca scanSee_report, support based on the open-source yorick software with extensions to communicate with EPICS using Channel Access).
