Use parent ADBaseIO field acquire_time in analyser driver class over 1 year ago

AI Summary: Refactor the analyser driver in the `dls-dodal` Python package to use the existing `acquire_time` field from the parent `ADBaseIO` class instead of the currently implemented `step_time` parameter. This involves removing redundant code and ensuring all tests pass.

Create enum for SPECS psu_mode region over 1 year ago

AI Summary: The task is to refactor the `psu_mode` attribute within the `SpecsRegion` class of the `dls-dodal` Python project. Currently, `psu_mode` is a string; it needs to be changed to an Enum type to better represent the possible values (3.5kV, 1.5kV, 400V, 100V, 10V) obtained from the EPICS PV `BL07B-EA-DET-01:CAM:SCAN_RANGE`. This will improve type safety and code readability.

Update PMAC prefix for I24 over 1 year ago

AI Summary: Update the prefix of the PMAC device for I24 beamline in the 'dodal' Python package from `ME14E-MO-CHIP-01` to `BL14I-EA-CHIP-01`, and also update the scan status and counter PVs to `BL24I-MO-STEP-13:pmac:read:P2401` and `BL24I-MO-STEP-13:pmac:read:P2402`. Testing on the beamline is required after the change.

Add channel cut monochromator device (ccmc) to b07-1 over 1 year ago

AI Summary: Add a new Channel Cut Monochromator (CCMC) device to the existing `dodal` library, specifically for the B07-1 beamline. This involves creating a new Ophyd device representing the CCMC and ensuring it can be accessed via the `dodal connect b07-1` command.
