A scan-amplitude reduction factor in the range 0.0 to 1.0.

Input Format:

A scan amplitude scale factor expressed as a floating-point number.

Use with do-loops:

When a ScanScale variable is used as the dependent variable of a do-loop, the associated loop increment is specified as an Double constant.

Examples:

The following example performs two iterations of the scan descbribed in the file myscan.scn, but with 10% of the amplitude described in the file.

 scan myscan.scn, repeat=2, scale=0.1

Context:

This datatype is used by the scan command, where it is used to multiply the positions, velocities and accelerations of the scan specified to this command.
