EPICS Device support
####################

NUSTAR DCS provides support for a number of different devices from several manufacturers. The devices listed below are supported. When a decision on new hardware for a sub-system has to be made, this list should be used as a list of suggestions. Adding support for any of the devices listed here, will take significantly less time than implementing a new device. On the other hand, new additions to the list are taken into account, if reasonable arguments are given.
