add APSU control network check #255

Closed prjemian closed 4 months ago

prjemian commented 7 months ago

With APS-U, the beamline controls will be on a local, private subnet. Users are not accustomed to this yet and will experience EPICS PV connection timeouts if they start a bluesky session from a workstation that is not on the controls subnet.

A new apstools.utils.warn_if_not_aps_controls_subnet() function is being added to provide this check:

Add this check in the instrument.framework.__init__ module.
