Original report (archived issue) by Philip Starkey (Bitbucket: pstarkey, GitHub: philipstarkey).

Currently limits only protect you from breaking something when running a shot, but are not respected by BLACS since they aren't saved anywhere.

Device limits (really only relevant to analog quantities and derivatives) should be stored somewhere so that BLACS can access them and use them to protect devices. I'm not sure that connection table properties is really the best idea (should probably be device properties) but since we don't have device properties working for channels (they only work for devices) then the connection table is really the only place left to us.

We should probably also document them (at least show an example in example.py) as probably most people reading this won't even have known limits exist!
