Suggestion (from @keenanlang) when part of the PV name is different than convention:

cam = ADComponent(cam_class, "cam1:")

In some implementations, the "cam1:" part of the detector's PV names could be different. Should be a configurable option in a detector factory function.

From XPCS:

    use_image=True,
    use_overlay=True,
    use_process=True,
    use_pva=True,
    use_roi=True,
    use_stats=True,
    use_transform=True,

At HEXM, AD factory function does the following:

creates a signal object to look for the ADCore version that the current AD IOC is running
selects which plugin versions are right for that ADCore version
formulates read/write paths, depending on whether IOC runs on Windows or Linux machine
defines an area detector class with plugin versions/ file paths defined above. All plugins commonly used at HEXM are included (image1, pva1, over1, trans1, proc1, roi1, tiff1, hdf1). The class includes a method for enabling/disabling plugins

For detector specificity, the factory accepts a detector mixin that contains:

cam plugin (has attributes specific to detector)
special methods (e.g., default and scan configurations)

Additionally:

each AD has a plugin control dictionary, which defines which plugins are enabled/disabled by default when passed to the enable/disable method above.

@cooleyv Is that function available on github or gitlab somewhere? I'd like to take a look if possible.

It sounds like a great idea, especially the part about detecting plugin versions since that is a constant pitfall for me in getting our AD support right.

However, if I understand that right, this means that the factory will fail if there's not an actual IOC running, right? Could the AD version or plugin version be an optional argument to the factory (e.g. plugin_version="34", or ad_core_version=...) that then skips the part where it connects to a real IOC?

The use case here is that when I write tests I commonly use a pattern where I create a fake device using Ophyd's sim module:

from ophyd.sim import instantiate_fake_device

from haven.instrument.area_detector import SPCAreaDetector  # or whatever

def test_my_area_detector():
    fake_ad = instantiate_fake_device(SPCAreaDetector, prefix="255ID:AD", name="fake_ad")
    # Write some tests here to make sure the device works
    # but since it's fake, no actual IOC is necessary
    fake_ad.stage()
    assert fake_ad.cam.acquire_time.get() == 2.  # or whatever
    ...

with a factory, then the test becomes:

from ophyd.sim import instantiate_fake_device

from haven.instrument.area_detector import ad_factory  # or whatever

def test_my_area_detector():
    AD_Class = ad_factory(...)
    fake_ad = instantiate_fake_device(AD_Class, prefix="255ID:AD", name="fake_ad")
    # Write some tests here to make sure the device works
    # but since it's fake, no actual IOC is necessary
    fake_ad.stage()
    assert fake_ad.cam.acquire_time.get() == 2.  # or whatever
    ...

which is fine except that ad_factory(...) will fail without an IOC present because the intermediate signal is a real ophyd Signal object instead of a fake one. It's possible to mock area_detector.Signal, but that can get a bit messy.
