Re: Naming conventions for devices and Epics records

Hello:

It's Friday, so I can't help but add a few more comments.
When you compare the link that Dave sent,
> https://ics-web1.sns.ornl.gov/STANDARDS/Naming%20Conventions% 
> 20Instructional%20Document.pdf
to the BESSY docs, you'll see things like underscores that are allowed,
but not required in some places.
Earlier SNS naming documents contained phrases like "use upper/lower  
case
and underscores however you like to improve readability".
Good examples for a non-standard, resulting in long names, maybe  
readable,
but definitely hard to parse. Worst are probably our instance numbers:
"105" = 105th instance, or 5th instance on 1st system
"05b" = 2nd instance on 5th system
"_65kV" = the system that handles 65*10^3 Volts
          - I think, because 65kV suggests a voltage.
            For a name parser, it could also be the 65th instance
            on the 'kV' system.
"_FE65kV" = the system that handles 65*10^3 Volts on the front-end?
"208t303" = no idea
