Enums or doc_string in TangoDS

[dschick]

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for this excellent software.
It is great to integrate the Lima drivers into an existing TANGO ecosystem so easily.

I was, however, wondering if it is possible to add more docstrings, at least for the generic limaccd TangoDS or even replace certain attributes with Enums to simplify the usage on the Tango level?

Right now, I am switching between TangoDS and Lima documentation back and forth to learn which attributes accept which kind/range of parameters.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,
instead you can use the command getAttrStringValuelist for any attribute of type DevString, this command will return the list of supported values. We did implement this way before the tango enum implementation and now all our tango client are using this feature to get the attribute supported values.

Okay, that should work e.g. in Pytango, but for Jive an additional doc_string would still be helpful
