Hi, can someone tell me what 'ph' really stands for? I know that it is instantiated as a detector and used for succeeding tasks in the tutorial. https://github.com/bluesky/tutorials/blob/658a50bd1af3fed6c9b7344f329dcd88803b90b1/scripts/beamline_configuration.py#L162

I believe it is @tacaswell’s abbreviation for “pin hole” detector, a detector with a scalar reading, as opposed to a linear array or an image.

would not have guessed that. Thanks @danielballan

I’m going to reopen this as a reminder to consider renaming that to the full pinhole and/or provide more context in commentary where it is used. Thanks for the feedback!
