Scanning just half a slot

You can create and slice a nominal plane through 180° of the slot [CAD > Creating Features > Section] or just pick the potions of the curve you need and create a 2d curve. (or whatever it is apex to apex). Then recall the curve into the slot feature.

Unfortunately the canned Slot strategy doesn't currently accommodate incomplete slots, only full scans.

Clarke's answer with a 2d Curve should be indistinguishable from what you're looking for; if you don't have Curve, you'll need to create two Circle features and a Line to gather the data piece by piece, then Recall Data Points into a slot.

I haven't tried this myself yet but CALYPSO 2025 (8.0) may allow you to define a circle path strategy with angle range instead of a slot path. Maybe worth a test depending on what dimension you are after and your version of CALYPSO.
