The parameters of the scan should be updated to match the requirements of the experiment.  To do so, update this section of rix_bluesky_rixscan.py:

# Scan motor1 from -10 to 10, stopping
# at 15 equally-spaced points along the way and reading dets.
RE(scan(dets, motor1, -10, 10, 15))

...

1. Make sure all the detectors to be used are configured properly.
2. Make sure the timing system is configured properly.  As of this writing, RIX uses readout groups 2 and 5.
3. When you're ready to record a scan, don't forget to enable recording before running rix_bluesky_rixscan.py!  In the control GUI, the disk icon has a diagonal line over it when not recording.
4. Use the "normal" DAQ interface to select the detectors of interest as "active" and assign their readout groups.
5. Put the DAQ in ALLOCATED or CONNECTED state. Now, you are ready to run rix_bluesky_rixscan.py.

The rix_bluesky_scan.py script accepts several command line arguments. If you are relying on the default settings, make sure they are correct for your experiment now, not just way back in 2020 when the script was first written.
