I gots to learn to use "reply all" for these things. -m

 

 

>>There was one bad part of the SNS naming. As I recall, the device instance was ambiguous as the cell number and the device instance were collapsed into 3 digits. So cell 3 pump 12 was the same as cell 31 pump 2. I don't know if you inherit this - or if you put the device instance separate.

Yeah, a highly placed source inside SNS, speaking on condition of anonymity,  had told us about that. 
Thanks again, Kay!

Our "instance" is either "instance" or "position along beamline in cm," depending on where in the system we are.  It's a little clunky, but I think it'll serve us well.

In either case, it's separated by "_" from the device name:  cell31pump_002.
