# Taurus Device Panels User’s Interface

There are two different widgets that can be used to provide a view on a Taurus Device: `TaurusDevicePanel` and `TaurusDevPanel`. The first is a compact widget that gives access to attributes and commands of a given device. The second is a full main window application that provides the same access plus a device selector and a trend widget in a more configurable (but less compact way).
