+#####################
+DE-Freescan Design
+#####################
+
+This document describes the scanning associated with the DE-Freescan, explaining
+its setup, operation, and limitations, along with code examples for properly
+interfacing with the scan controller.
+
+The Freescan device drives coils within the microscope — primarily sending voltages
+to scan X/Y coils. For each direction (e.g. X), there are four deflection coils
+driven: a tilt and detilt coil above the sample, and a tilt and detilt coil below
+the sample. These voltages are applied to cancel each other out. In practice, due
+to relaxation times within the coils, scan artifacts (scan distortions) and descan
+artifacts (probe wandering) can occur.
+
+.. contents:: Table of Contents
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+--------------------------
+Internal Scan Design
+--------------------------
+
+Scan voltages (X/Y) are continuously sent from the DE-Computer to the scan
+generator. The scan generator operates in a **FIFO** (First In, First Out) manner,
+where scan points are sent to the microscope in the order they are received.
+This enables indefinite streaming of scan positions to the microscope.
+
+While this model *could* support continual updates to scan positions, this is
+currently not supported due to difficulties with latency, uploading scan patterns
+during acquisition, and the dynamic definition of virtual images. As a compromise,
+the properties ``Scan - Offset X (points)`` and ``Scan - Offset Y (points)`` can
+shift the beam by some fraction of a scan point — analogous to using image shift
+for drift correction in a TEM. This is a beta feature that requires additional
+testing.
+
+Custom scan patterns may also be defined. In this case, the 3V ↔ −3V area is
+subdivided into a grid and only specified positions are scanned. The returned
+virtual image will contain the scanned values at those positions and zeros
+elsewhere.
+
+--------------------------
+Defining Custom Scan Patterns
+--------------------------
+
+Lists of X/Y scan points define scan patterns. The total scan area (when no ROI
+is active) is defined by the full voltage range of the microscope. Finer voltage
+control is achieved by increasing ``Scan - Size X`` and ``Scan - Size Y``.
+
+In most cases, scan patterns are pre-defined (``Raster``, ``Serpentine``,
+``Distributed``, etc.) and a single pattern is used. When ``Scan - Repeats`` > 1,
+the single scan pattern is repeated continuously into the FIFO buffer.
+
+For custom X/Y scan patterns, it is possible to:
+
+* Send multiple scan patterns and run a selected one by index.
+* Cycle through multiple scan patterns in sequence.
+
+.. note::
+   The underlying ``height`` and ``width`` must be equal for all patterns in a set.
+
+Example: Sending Multiple Patterns (Scan Repeat == 1)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This example sends three scan patterns and runs each one individually.
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. tab:: Python
+
+      .. code-block:: python
+
+         import numpy as np
+         from time import sleep
+
+         scan1 = np.array([[0, 0], [1, 0], [1, 1], [0, 1]])                        # 4 points
+         scan2 = np.array([[0, 0], [2, 0], [2, 2], [0, 2], [1, 1]])                # 5 points
+         scan3 = np.array([[0, 0], [3, 0], [3, 3], [0, 3], [1, 1], [2, 2]])        # 6 points
+         scans = [scan3, scan2, scan1]
+
+         client.set_xy_array(scans, height=10, width=10)  # Send all 3 scans to DE-Server
+
+         for i, num_points in enumerate([4, 5, 6]):
+             client["Scan - Repeats"] = 1               # Single scan, no repeats
+             client["Scan - XY File Pattern ID"] = i    # Select pattern by index
+             client["Scan - Enable"] = True
+             client.start_acquisition()
+             while client.acquiring:
+                 sleep(0.1)
+             assert client["Scan - Frames (Recorded)"] == num_points  # 4, 5, or 6

+
+         // TODO: Add C++ implementation
+
+Example: Cycling Through Multiple Patterns (Scan Repeat > 1)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This example creates five scan patterns derived from a base pattern and cycles
+through them for 100 repeats.
+
+.. tabs::
+
+   .. tab:: Python
+
+      .. code-block:: python
+
+         import numpy as np
+         from time import sleep
+
+         scan1 = np.array([
+             [0, 0], [1, 0], [1, 1], [0, 1],
+             [2, 1], [2, 0], [0, 2], [1, 2]
+         ])  # 8 points
+
+         scans = [scan1 + 2 * i for i in range(5)]
+         client.set_xy_array(scans, height=10, width=10)
+
+         client["Scan - Repeats"] = 100
+         client["Scan - Enable"] = True
+         client["Scan - Camera Frames Per Point"] = 1
+         client["Scan - Repeat Delay"] = 0  # seconds
+         client.start_acquisition()
+         while client.acquiring:
+             sleep(0.1)
+
+         sleep(5)
+
+   .. tab:: C#
+
+      .. code-block:: csharp
+
+         // TODO: Add C# implementation
+
+   .. tab:: C++
+
+      .. code-block:: cpp
+
+         // TODO: Add C++ implementation
+
+Cycling through patterns is important for reducing latency with repeated scans,
+particularly with regard to allocating memory for results.
+
+--------------------------
+Returning Virtual Images
+--------------------------
+
+When ``Scan - Repeats`` > 1 and ``Scan - Repeat Delay (seconds)`` > 5, the camera
+will operate continuously: the shutter remains open and the probe moves to the park
+position for the duration of the delay. The beam is **not** blanked during this time.
+
+Virtual images are continuously written to disk using a **Ping-Pong buffer** (A → B → A → B …)
+that holds the image currently being acquired and the previously completed image.
+There are three ways to access virtual images:
+
+1. **Return the "Stitched" Image**
+   Returns the current buffer stitched together with the previous buffer, based on
+   the current scan position. Primarily used for continuous display purposes.
+
+2. **Return the Last Full Scan**
+   Returns the most recently completed full scan image. When buffer A is being
+   written to, buffer B is returned, and vice versa. Suitable for fully asynchronous
+   workflows where dropping frames is acceptable (e.g. continuous drift correction).
+
+3. **Stream Virtual Images**
+   The client subscribes to a stream of images from the server, and every virtual
+   image is delivered. Use this when all frames must be captured.

+Cycling through patterns allows for more complex scan patterns.  For example you can define
+
+Pattern A: A small scan over a fiduciary mark for drift correction
+Pattern B: A large scan over the area of interest for data collection
+
+... and cycle through A-B-A-B-A-B-… using Pattern A for drift correction and Pattern B for
+data collection.
+
+For inpainting a collection of scan patterns can be defined and sent in a batch. For
+example you can define patterns A,B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I.  Then you can cycle through
+A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-…
