ENH: autosave field additions #287

Closed klauer closed 2 years ago

klauer commented 2 years ago

Context

Closes #286

Changes

Updates the vendored ads.dbd to the ads-ioc R0.5.0 database definition file (this makes the diff line count look massive...)
- This is used in the test suite to verify the fields that we have set
Adds description field to autosave for all records, input and output
Adds alarm severity and limit fields to autosave for all relevant input and output records
Adds control limit (drive low/high) fields to autosave for relevant output records

Helpful whatrecord blurb

import whatrecord
dbd = whatrecord.parse("pytmc/tests/ads.dbd")
for rtyp in ("ai", "ao", "bi", "bo", "mbbi", "mbbo", "longin", "longout", "waveform"):
    print(f"\n\n{rtyp}\n{'-' * len(rtyp)}")
    for name, fld in dbd.record_types[rtyp].fields.items():
        if fld.prompt and "sev" in fld.prompt.lower():
            print(f'"{name}",  # {fld.prompt}')

I think there are some people who would want the enum state names to be autosaved but I think it's correct for that not to be a default.

Right - my thought was that should be opt-in as well.
