This field can be used to show a better user-facing name in a GUI.
To be honest, maybe the field should be named something else, like
display_name
ordevice_name
, but since neither Bluesky nor Ophyd constrains whatname
can be, I used the genericname
. Tell me if you think it should be something else!Motivation and Context
This allows us to have a potentially ugly Python variable name, while having a nicer name attribute on the device, that users can interact with in a GUI application.
Summary of Changes for Release Notes
Added
A
name
field to the device list in the API, corresponding to the device's.name
attribute, when it exists.
