HIFI Cryomag: Gaussmeter IOC (Lakeshore LS460)

[kjwoodsISIS]

As a support person I want the cryomag on NDXHIFI to be robust and maintainable, rewriting the Gaussmeter will improve that module of code

Acceptance Criteria

1. Write an IOC for communicating with a Lakeshore LS460 Gaussmeter (needed in other places eventually)
2. Write an emulator for the LS460
3. Write the IOC test framework for the LS460
4. Create an OPI for the LS460

Notes

1. This will be a standard stream/asyn driver
2. There is a copy of the manual in http://www.facilities.rl.ac.uk/isis/projects/ts1/HIFICryomagnetSoftwareImprovement/Manuals/Forms/AllItems.aspx

As a support person I want the cryomag on NDXHIFI to be robust and maintainable, rewriting the Gaussmeter will improve that module of code

Acceptance Criteria

1. Write an IOC for communicating with a Lakeshore LS460 Gaussmeter (needed in other places eventually)
2. Alter the existing LabVIEW code to reference the IOC

Notes

1. The existing GUI interface should be maintained until all changes are complete, although the code underneath should be updated to use the PVs from the IOC
2. When altering the LabVIEW GUIs care should be taken over the existence of hidden datasocket links
3. The lvDCOM IOC referring to the DS and EI VI will need to have the PVs now being generated from an IOC removed from it's listing
