-Generate a test caproto IOC containing all the PVs from a tree set to 0 with no special logic.
+Generate a test caproto IOC containing all the PVs from a tree as they are in the live control system.
 
 Intended usage is something like:
 beams gen_test_ioc my_tree.json > outfile.py
 
-Then, edit outfile.py to set useful starting values and add logic if needed.
+You can use this file as-is or edit it for your purposes.
+
+If running in online mode (the default, unless you pass --offline),
+this will query the controls system for live starting values and data types.
+
+In offline mode (--offline) everything will start as an int with value 0.
