[NeXus-committee] Instrument Definitions

[Pete R. Jemian]

Andy:

The present NXmotor is pretty basic ... a generic positioner.
(http://www.nexus.anl.gov/mediawiki/index.php?title=NXmotor)
I believe we agreed to define it this way with the plan
to revise it in the future.  Nick suggests that we consider
NXpositioner since non-motor items (such as piezoelectric
transducer, temperature, magnet current, or magnet field
strength) are often used as the scanned or independent variable.

I propose renaming NXmotor to NXpositioner, as in:
http://www.nexus.anl.gov/mediawiki/index.php?title=NXpositioner
and then we add this for ratification.
