Make LCLS-Specific Assumptions Configurable #109

Closed ZLLentz closed 1 year ago

ZLLentz commented 4 years ago

Expected Behavior

Any light source should be able to use lightpath, provided they know how their devices should be ordered and they satisfy the API

Current Behavior

Required to use happi that sorts on z, beamline

Possible Solution

Lightpath config file that picks which happi parameter to use for sorting sections, and which happi parameter to use for deciding what each section is

Context

It's not simple to use this outside of LCLS for collaborative efforts

To add onto this, we should probably allow users to configure:
