Description

currently the monitor shows the parameter name and value. This is a problem if there are multiple parameters with the same name eg. v and v for voltages on different devices.
Suggested quickfix: replace name by label. The label should be in any case chosen such that it is unique

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the monitor's display path and the parameter metadata used for its current name and value; reproduce the case with two same-named parameters on different devices. Done means the monitor displays labels that distinguish those parameters, with coverage for the duplicate-name case.
