This file contains a desciption of the Tango devices which are used in a Spectra session. The file is loaded from TkIrc.pl. Here is an example:

<hw>
  <device>
    <name>mca10</name> 
    <type>mca</type> 
    <module>mca_xia</module>
    <device>p06/exp/mca1</device> 
    <control>tango</control> 
    <hostname>haspp06xmap:20000</hostname>
  </device>

  <device>
    <name>dac1</name> 
    <type>dac</type> 
    <module>TIP551</module>
    <device>hires/exp/dac1</device> 
    <control>tango</control> 
    <hostname>haso107tk:10000</hostname>
  </device>

  <device>
    <name>pilatus</name> 
    <type>DETECTOR</type> 
    <module>PILATUS100K</module>
    <device>b1/pilatus/100k</device> 
    <control>tango</control> 
    <hostname>hasb1:10000</hostname>
  </device>
</hw>

The devices are successfullf defined, if the Tango DB exists on the specified host and if the DB has an entry for the device. The server is needed only when the first I/O is done.
