Pseudopositioner

A pseudopositioner is a positioner that presents two interfaces to the hardware: a direct “real” interface and an indirect “pseudo” interface that enables the hardware to be read and moved in coordinate system different from the literal one exposed by the hardware. One important use case is HKL scanning.
