 class NumberSlider(DataService):
     """
-    The `NumberSlider` class models and represents a UI component, such as a slider or
-    a dial, in the context of a data interface. This could be useful in various
-    applications, such as a lab setting where you might want to adjust a parameter
-    (e.g., temperature, voltage) within a certain range, and want to ensure that the
-    value is only adjusted in certain increments (`step_size`).
-
-    You can use it as an attribute of a `DataService` subclass to model the state of a
-    particular UI component. Here is an example of how to use the `NumberSlider` class:
-
-    ```python
-    class MyService(DataService):
-        voltage = NumberSlider(1, 0, 10, 0.1)
-
-    # Then, you can modify or access the voltage value like this:
-    my_service = MyService()
-    my_service.voltage.value = 5
-    print(my_service.voltage.value)  # Output: 5
-    ```
+    This class models a UI slider for a data service, allowing for adjustments of a
+    parameter within a specified range and increments.

         The maximum value of the slider. Defaults to 100.
