-    Example class for simple BEC-based step scan using the low-level API. It's just a standard

-    of individual software triggers. 
-
-    NOTE: As decided by Tomcat, the scans should not manage the scope of devices
-        - All enabled devices are expected to be configured for acquisition by the end of stage
-            - Some devices can configure themselves from mandatory scan parameters (steps, burst)
-            - Other devices can be optionally configured by keyword arguments
-            - Devices will try to stage using whatever was set on them before
