-         Properties of generic beam device in an experimental setup.
-         
-         Any beam related devices like source, detector, filter, mirror,
-         beamsplitter, ... which may modifies a beam in an experimental setup
-         can be described here with its experimental position and relationship
-         to the other beam devices in the setup.

-    <field name="previous_device">
-        <doc>
-             Single device or list of devices pointing to the devices from which an
-             beam originated to reach this device.
-             This is used to describe a logical order of devices and for the whole setup.
-             In this way, a "beam path" can be described (i.e., with starting point (light source) 
-             and end point (photo detector)).
-             
-             Example: /entry/instrument/detector.

-    <field name="purpose" type="NX_CHAR">
-        <doc>
-             Description of the intended purpose of this device for
-             the experimental setup.

-    </field>
-    <field name="group" type="NX_CHAR">
-        <doc>
-             Name of the group with which this device can be associated.
-             For example, if a group of devices is used for second harmonic generation,
-             all these devices have the group name "second harmonic generation".
-             Is used for simplified setup vizualization (or description?).

-    <group type="NXtransformations">
-        <doc>
-             Location and orientation of the device. Note that even a
-             simple distance can be given as a translation.
-             
-             You can use the @depends_on to describe from which device
-             the transformation needs to be applied.
