+Using the library
+-----------------
+
+To connect to an NPS, first import the switch client class (available implementations are `.DLIClient` and `.NetIOClient`) and instantiate them with the appropriate parameters. Then call `.NPSClient.setup` to initialise the connection and refresh the list of outlets.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from lvmnps import DLIClient
+
+    client = DLIClient(host='127.0.0.1', port=8088, user='admin', password='admin')
+    await client.setup()
+
+We can then retrieve the list of outlets and their status
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    >>> client.outlets
+    {'argon': DLIOutletModel(id=1, name='Argon', normalised_name='argon', state=False, index=0, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None),
+ 'neon': DLIOutletModel(id=2, name='Neon', normalised_name='neon', state=False, index=1, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None),
+ 'ldls': DLIOutletModel(id=3, name='LDLS', normalised_name='ldls', state=False, index=2, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None),
+ 'quartz': DLIOutletModel(id=4, name='Quartz', normalised_name='quartz', state=False, index=3, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None),
+ 'hgne': DLIOutletModel(id=5, name='HgNe', normalised_name='hgne', state=False, index=4, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None),
+ 'xenon': DLIOutletModel(id=6, name='Xenon', normalised_name='xenon', state=False, index=5, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None),
+ 'outlet_7': DLIOutletModel(id=7, name='Outlet 7', normalised_name='outlet_7', state=False, index=6, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None),
+ 'outlet8': DLIOutletModel(id=8, name='Outlet8', normalised_name='outlet8', state=False, index=7, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None)}
+
+All outlets share some common attributes, including ``id`` (a numerical identifier), ``name``, ``normalised_name`` (a normalised version of the name, useful for programmatic access), and ``state`` (the current state of the outlet). Certain types of outlets may include additional parameters.
+
+To retrieve an outlet by name or id ::
+
+    >>> client.get(5)
+    DLIOutletModel(id=5, name='HgNe', normalised_name='hgne', state=False, index=4, physical_state=False, transient_state=False, critical=False, locked=False, cycle_delay=None)
+
+To refresh the internal state of the outlets you can issue ::
+
+    await client.refresh()
+
+And to switch an outlet on or off ::
+
+    await client.set_state(5, on=True)
+    await client.set_state('hgne', on=False)
+
+`.NPSClient.set_state` accepts either a single outlet (identifid by its name or id) or a list of outlets. In the latter case, the NPS implementation will try to switch on/off the outlets are quickly as possible while preventing in-rush overcurrent.

 The ``actor`` section is common to other CLU actors, and we refer the reader to the `CLU documentation <https://clu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started.html#configuration-files>`__. An ``nps`` section is required, defining the type of the power supply (valid types are ``dli`` and ``netio``) and the parameters necessary to initialise the relevant client class.
