print('''
The variables sm, mm, and hc are pre-assigned to the ScanMaster, MOTMaster
and SympatheticHardwareControl Controller objects respectively. You can call any of
these objects methods, for example: sm.AcquireAndWait(5). Look at the c#
code to see which remote methods are available. You can use any Python code
you like to script these calls.

You can run scripts in the SympatheticScripts directory with the command run(i),
where i is the script's index number (below). For this to work the script
must have a run_script() function defined somewhere. You'd be unwise to
try and run more than one script in a session with this method!
