Should: This is a bit misleading, there are filter wheels on the I24 attenuator:

Yes, but for the moment there's no filter wheel device (Made a ticket to write one #927 , which will also be needed soon for i19) and I24 doesn't need it at this stage... Beyond making it clearer in the comment that it's only temporary and will be added in the future I'm not sure what could be added here?

Should: I think it's worth making clear here that the read transmission will be fractional i.e. 0-1 not a percentage

Should: Either this attenuator is only used for reading and we remove these PVs or we want to add the setting too, in which case AttenuatorBase should have a set.
If we're going to do setting as well I actually think you might be able to get away with exactly the same set between the two. In the i24 case:
_filters_in_positioncontains onlyBL24I-OP-ATTN-01:MP1:INPOSandBL24I-OP-ATTN-01:MP2:INPOS_calculated_filter_statesare soft signals that are all high_changeis a soft signal that's a no-op
If we don't do this in this issue can you put this in a new issue please?

Made an issue here #928

I think it would be clearer about what's going on if we just reframe it all as read-only vs settable Attenuators. I've done this in #931, let me know what you think. Sorry to jump on it and re-write it but it seemed easier than trying to articulate what I meant
Fixes #889
Creates an AttenuatorBase with a minimum set of common PVs that beamline-specific devices can inherit from.
Used in MX_bluesky#627
