Remarks

Must be implemented

This method must return an empty IListT object if no actions are supported. Please do not throw a NotImplementedException.

SupportedActions is a "discovery" mechanism that enables clients to know which Actions a device supports without having to exercise the Actions themselves. This mechanism is necessary because there could be people / equipment safety issues if actions are called unexpectedly or out of a defined process sequence. It follows from this that SupportedActions must return names that match the spelling of Action names exactly, without additional descriptive text. However, returned names may use any casing because the Action(String, String) ActionName parameter is case insensitive.
