Instrument#
As the configuration of a system becomes more complex, it may be easier to describe (and startup) by making the startup steps into a Python package for import.
The instrument package defines the features of your equipment for use with
data acquisition using the Bluesky [1] framework. It is
structured as a Python package [2] so that it will be easy to use with
the Python import command, like much other Python software.
There are many ways to define your equipment so consider this guide as a reference for ideas rather than a set of requirements.
