Install on debian or ubuntu
---------------------------
1. Install PyTango
sudo apt-get install python-pytango
2. Install scadat
sudo pip install scadat or
sudo pip install --no-deps -I 'scadat==0.4.8' # install older versions

Testing
-------
scadat_test.sh will run unit tests.
scadat has been tested on debian and ubuntu but should run on other os

Notes
-----
1. scadat can be used alone or in combination with unix tools like grep ,sort 
    scadat -l | xargs scadat -vvv -r  # list all values on a TANGO bus
    scadat -r sys/tg_test/1 | sort
2. TANGO_HOST default=127.0.0.1:1000. To override default modify TANGO_HOST variable or -t command line option. 
3. A script scadat_search.sh can be used to search for tango systems using ip addresses. netcat (nc) must be installed.
4. Use regexf to define a tango naming convention. Then use scadat to check if names are correct .e.g. scadat -l | xargs regexf -v
5. Properties registered using jive do not appear if registered using default property tango ticket (#121, #777)
6. "scadat -p sys/tg_test/1/myproperty test" throws an exception (but property is still registered)?
