MEC running out of PVs (preset related) #21

Feature Request We are running out of PVs. Since we use them mainly for target presets, it would be good to know the status of the new approach to presets mentioned by Silke and being tested to XPP/XCS.

Existing Alternatives Erasing existing already allocated PVs, which is not ideal.

Context Our PVs are mainly used to set presets for target positions (calibrants or fiducial for alignment). We know that we are going away from this method of having presets, but we don't know when, while we are expanding our list of calibrant (the number of PVs being fixed). When can we try the new preset way? If not yet available, is there a way to expand our PV list by x2?
