A preset is a *hook* in a scan iteration. This hook can be set at different
levels depending on the need.
!!! Note
In the general case, DO NOT use a `Preset` to modify the acquisition
parameters (eg. acquisition time) of a device.
To modify the default acquisition parameters used by a device in
standard scans, use `DEFAULT_CHAIN.set_settings`, see [Default
chain](scan_default.md#default-chain).
## Quick overview
A preset is a *hook* introduced in the [acquisition
chain](scan_writing.md#the-acquisition-chain) of a scan thanks to the
`add_preset()` method.
A preset has three methods (`prepare()`, `start()`, `stop()`) that user can
customize.
Bliss provides three kind of presets that act at different levels of the scan
chain: `ScanPreset`, `ChainPreset` and `ChainIterationPreset`.
**ScanPreset:** (hook a whole scan)
* `.prepare`: called at scan prepare
* `.start` : called at scan start
* `.stop` : called at scan stop
```python
DEMO [1]: s = loopscan(2, 0.1, diode, run=False)
DEMO [2]: p = MyScanPreset() # a ScanPreset object
DEMO [3]: s.add_preset(p) # using the scan object method
DEMO [4]: s.run()
```
**ChainPreset:** (hook a top-master)
* `.prepare`: called at TopMaster.prepare
* `.start` : called at TopMaster.start
* `.stop` : called at TopMaster.stop
Similar to `ScanPreset` if the chain has only one top-master (i.e. single
branch acq_chain)
```python
DEMO [1]: s = loopscan(2, 0.1, diode, run=False)
DEMO [2]: p = MyChainPreset() # a ChainPreset object
DEMO [3]: s.acq_chain.add_preset(p) # using the chain object method
DEMO [4]: s.run()
```
**ChainIterationPreset:** (hook each iteration of a top-master)
* `.prepare`: called at prepare of step i (iteration i of a top-master)
* `.start` : called at start of step i (iteration i of a top-master)
* `.stop` : called at stop of step i (iteration i of a top-master)
```python
DEMO [1]: s = loopscan(2, 0.1, diode, run=False)
DEMO [2]: p = MyIteratingChainPreset() # a ChainPreset object with
# a get_iterator method
DEMO [3]: s.acq_chain.add_preset(p) # using the chain object method
DEMO [4]: s.run()
```
!!! note
Most of the time the acquisition chain has only one top-master (only
one acquisition chain branch) and in that case using a `ScanPreset` or a
`ChainPreset` will produce the same result.
## Add presets to the default chain
It is possible to add a preset to all standard scans of Bliss (i.e: `ct`,
`loopscan`, `ascan`, etc.).
```python
DEMO [1]: p = MyChainPreset()
DEMO [2]: DEFAULT_CHAIN.add_preset(p) # method of the default chain object
...
DEMO [9]: DEFAULT_CHAIN.remove_preset(p)
```
## Multiple top-masters case
Keep in mind that the [acquisition chain](scan_writing.md#the-acquisition-chain)
can have multiple **branches** (one per top-master).
The `ChainPreset` and `ChainIterationPreset` are associated to one top-master
(i.e: one acquisition chain branch).
That is why the `add_preset()` method of the acquisition chain takes an optional
argument `master`.
```python
def add_preset(self, preset, master=None):
"""
Add a preset on a top-master.
Args:
preset: a ChainPreset object
master: if None, take the first top-master of the chain
"""
```

* to hook a part of the acquisition chain it will inherit from `ChainPreset`

## ChainPreset
This hook is linked to a *top-master* of the acquisition chain. So the
callback method will be called during `prepare`, `start` and `stop`
phases of this top-master. It has exactly the same behaviour than
the `ScanPreset` if the chain has **only one** top-master.

callback method will be called during `prepare`, `start` and `stop` phases of
this top-master. It has exactly the same behaviour than the `ScanPreset` if the
chain has **only one** top-master.
Example: In a loopscan, the only top master is a timer. So here it is the same
example as shown above with the ScanPreset, where a shutter is opened at the
beginning of the scan and closed at the end.
The only difference is that the `add_preset()` method is called on the
acquisition chain object instead of the scan object (`s.acq_chain.add_preset`
instead of `s.add_preset`).
In the multiple top-masters case, the `acq_chain.add_preset` method takes an
optional `master` argument to specify the top-master that should be associated
to this preset (see [Multiple top-masters
case](scan_engine_preset.md#multiple-top-masters-case))
i.e: In a loopscan, the sole top master is a timer, so here is the same simple
example where the need is to open a shutter at the beginning of the scan and to

In this example, you can see that *data display* and the *chain

synchronised. This is not a problem but can be confusing if you think
that it's sequencial.

As `Preset` callbacks are executed synchronously, they can easily pause a scan,
just by not returning imediatly from `prepare()`, `start()` or `stop()` callback

For example, to pause a scan in case of beam loss, the condition has to be
checked in a loop.
As an example, wait to start a scan if the beam is not present.
Example to delay starting a scan until the beam is present.
