Part of #36147. See the design and requirements documents that are linked on that issue for more context.
The SANS IDFs should be updated to include the polarizing components that they would like to save metadata about. As per the design document, we have agreed that this should be done as follows:
For polarizers
For analysers:
For flippers (includes anything like spin-rotators that will also be recorded as a flipper in the NXcanSAS file):
In each case, the
device-name
parameter is optional. If used it will be the name used for the component in the NXcanSAS file. If omitted, the component name will be used instead.Depending on what is useful for our scientists, further information could be added, and the components could be given appropriate shapes, etc. However, the parameters shown above are the things that must be included in the definition (the location must also be included, but I believe that is already mandatory as part of defining any component).
