Code Review

• Is the code of an acceptable quality?
• If the change is to an OPI, does the check_opi_format.py script in C:\Instrument\Dev\ibex_gui\base\uk.ac.stfc.isis.ibex.opis pass?
• Do the changes function as described and is it robust?
• Is there associated PR for the release notes?

Final Steps

• Reviewer has also merged the release notes

If I make a change in the Experiment Setup Panel for Local --> Apply Change button is highlighted as expected.
With out clicking on the apply change, if I switch instrument then Apply Change button is no more highlighted. This is as expected as per the change required. However the changed (but unsaved) value is lost once I switched back to localhost.

Discussed with Daniel and it is agreed that this isn't an issue as retaining local unapplied changes is only relevant while we are within the context of an instrument and switching instruments takes us to a different context.

This looks ok. Please feel free to delete the branch once you think it is safe.
