Description

Expected Behavior

We often write an ELog post about the devices we have loaded in the Experiment folder as well as a brief description of any special scans and how to use them. It would be nice if all this could simply be written in the experiment file itself then published or at least built somewhere convenient.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how experiment files are currently loaded and how ELog posts are produced. Define where device and special-scan documentation should live in an experiment file and where the published or built output should appear. Done means the workflow and output location are clear and documented.
