| The principle of operation is to 'dose' gas into a porous material, and measure the rate at which that gas gets adsorbed onto that material. When used on a beamline, we also want to perform neutron measurements between doses. | ||

Pretty concerned we are describing ourselves as supporting this device, despite having explicitly told the group that having procured something we couldn't talk to we wouldn't prioritise doing so.

Is there something you'd like me to reword?

Does the nature of this work need reflecting here? I.e. are we offering a different level of support? Do we have different expectations around reliability? If the answer is no to both, then no changes needed.

Perhaps the word "support" here is doing too much - I wrote it in the purely technical sense as in device support or EPICS support module. Whereas I think you're interpreting it as a slightly different version of "support". I'll edit and clarify this...
Clarified the implementation of EPICS support for the iSorb gas adsorption system, detailing the use of GUI automation and log-scraping.
