Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Adding to Kay's list, your caQtDM (or any other EPICS client) session
may have more than one use of this same PV. Such as same PV displayed
within the same screen both as slider and numerical value. Or presented
in two different screens. A central registry of PV and chid within the
CA client application is the design to follow.
