Hello:
It's Friday, so I can't help but add a few more comments.
When you compare the link that Dave sent,

https://ics-web1.sns.ornl.gov/STANDARDS/Naming%20Conventions%
20Instructional%20Document.pdf

to the BESSY docs, you'll see things like underscores that are allowed,

but not required in some places.

Earlier SNS naming documents contained phrases like "use upper/lower
case

and underscores however you like to improve readability".

Good examples for a non-standard, resulting in long names, maybe
readable,

but definitely hard to parse. Worst are probably our instance numbers:

"105" = 105th instance, or 5th instance on 1st system

"05b" = 2nd instance on 5th system

"_65kV" = the system that handles 65*10^3 Volts

- I think, because 65kV suggests a voltage.

For a name parser, it could also be the 65th instance

on the 'kV' system.

"_FE65kV" = the system that handles 65*10^3 Volts on the front-end?

"208t303" = no idea
