Generic Device Methods

The following methods are available with any device.

    getName()
    getX()
    getY()
    apply(<accessPoint>)
    remove()

The getName method returns a string containing the name of the device. The getX and getY methods return the current position in instrument coordinates of the device if it has actually been applied to an instrument. Otherwise they return zero. The return values are also zero if the device has been applied to an instrument and removed again.
