The feature/auspex-compat branch removes vendor names from most instrument Atom classes. I feel like this puts up a major barrier to discoverability. Unless you have intimate knowledge of a particular instrument, you aren't going to remember itss model number. Case in point, I have always referred to Yokogawa GS200 current sources as "Yokos". I wouldn't recognize it as a "GS200" if I hadn't just been looking at that rename in the source. Similarly, I have no idea what the model number is for our Agilent network analyzer, or BNC microwave sources. What I remember is the vendor name. Please can we go back to the names we had??
