Description
Expected Behavior
Provide a convenient way to do scans where we want to take n measurements or measure for t seconds at each step without the daq to make plots, etc... Maybe even provide statistics (stretch goal)
Possible Solution
per_stephook- Configurable signals with number of events, duration
- Plan mutator that replaces trigger/read/save loops with trigger/read/save many times or trigger/read/save until a timer ends or something with monitoring?
Do it here, or in nabs?
Context
Requested by Jason and Silke

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing scan and DAQ workflows, then compare whether this belongs in hutch-python or nabs. Define the interface for per-step duration and event-count measurements, including how results are collected and whether statistics are required. Done means scans can run without DAQ-based plotting while preserving the existing scan behavior.
