device naming for Lima plugin

[PhilLAL]

Hi, when using A/B/C for a LimaCCDs used with a Basler, we manually create devices for LimaCCDs and Basler devices.

Then, if we use plugins, other devices are created:

• A/liveviewer/C
• A/backgroundsubstraction/C
• A/flatfield/C
• A/limatacoccds/C
• A/ roi2spectrum/C
• A/roicounter/C
• A/bpm/C
• A/peakfinder/C
• A/mask/C
• A/ctvideo/C
• A/ctaccumulation/C
• A/ctimage/C
• A/ctevent/C
• A/ctbuffer/C
• A/ctconfig/C
• A/ctshutter/C
• A/ctsaving/C
• A/ctacquisition/C
• A/ctcontrol/C
• A/memcached/C
• A/roicollection/C

For example, if bla/truc/ccd.01 exists as well as bla/machin/ccd.01, then both will create bla/liveviewer/ccd.01, am I right?

Then I understand Lima assumes C will be unique among all A/B, am I right?

Since naming depends on accelerators, it is possible this renaming occurs issues? How to do this?

Thank you

H Phil, the automatic generated devices can be renamed afterward, so feel free to rename the device names using jive or from a resource file you will upload from jive. For info, in the lastest version of the package lima-tango-server 1.9.16 the CT devices are no longer created, so you can remove their definition in jive.

Thanks @laurent-claustre, but devices will not have dependencies issues if I rename them how I want? They all depends only on LimaCCDs and Basler?

[laurent-claustre]

No, you can rename the devices as you want, only the code behind is sharing the lima python objects coming from the library. You can make a test and you will see this will work like a charm

Thank you very much, again :)
