Details
Before using this command, use scan.create() and scan.add() or scan.addimagestep() to set up a
scan list.
Execution runs until the scan is complete or until the abort command is sent.
Because this function waits for the scan to complete, the scan.state() function cannot be used to see the current status of scanning.
