:orphan: .. _subarray-scan-configuration: Scan configuration ================== TMC provides a complete scan configuration to a subarray via an ASCII JSON encoded string. Parameters specified via a JSON string are implemented as TANGO Device attributes and can be accessed and modified directly using the built-in TANGO method *write_attribute*. When a complete and coherent scan configuration is received and the subarray configuration (or re-configuration) completed, the subarray it's ready to observe.
