what if devices don't like many caputs?

Current Behavior

We can spam caputs; we can avoid this by massively slowing down the loop period of these nodes; there may be a much more intelligent ways to do this... needs reflection.

Suggested Solution

• might be a serializable option for ActioNodes that do caput such that if this is a special type of pv indicated by a field like: 'dont_spam' that will set on some fixed, slower frequency or wait for some ACK

[ZLLentz]

Possibly the EPICS-based action nodes could have more than just spam or no spam, some ideas:

• put on every tick
• put every n ticks
• put only on first tick
• put if we haven't put in the last n seconds

possibly not all of these would be needed in practice but I'm spitballing ideas
