Use case proposal: insertion device feedforward (FFWD) table measurement

[gubaidulinvadim]

I would like to discuss whether it's possible to include the InsertionDevice object in pyAML and a simple tuning tool to measure FFWD tables. (There was also some interest from ELETTRA during the previous workshop to have this functionality in pyAML.)

At SOLEIL, we presently have this functionality implemented in our version of MML. I obviously do not wish to use MML, and insertion devices are now part of my job. Therefore, I personally would like to implement it with pyAML.

The measurement itself is essentially a response matrix measurement for different settings of the insertion device (gap, phase, etc). So, except for the insertion device, everything necessary for the measurement is already present in pyAML. This could also be a good use case for having some standard measurement orchestration because FFWD measurement is a simple scan.

If we do this, we'd need to have:

• Insertion device element (exists in AT as a kickmap)
• Tuning tool for FFWD measurement

If we agree that this fits into pyaml i will create the corresponding issues with the expected interface. I can work on them with the goal of having a working implementation before the ESRF workshop.
