A repository to keep tracked of the static device information at LCLS. The idea is that the standard beamline instruments be included here, while those that are often removed and/or associated with individual experiments are kept elsewhere.
Clone the repository and point a happi Client at the database
import happi
client = happi.Client(path='path/to/device_config/db.json')device_config is currently deployed here:
/reg/g/pcds/pyps/apps/hutch-python/device_config/db.jsonA daily backup is done via CRON job which commits any changes to the deploy branch and
pushes to https://github.com/pcdshub/device_config/. This is performed in case an error
is made and the local copy of the device_config is lost.
