Alignment Dither Paths added to HAM SUS fron end Models (ECR E1400105)
J. Kissel

I've modified all HAM SUS front end code to receive dither alignment signals from the ASC front end. Currently, however, the sending channels have dummy constants as input at the top level of the h1asc model, because there's work internal to the ASC library block that needs doing. I leave the ASC model changes in the very capable hands of the ISC team.

Thankfully, recovery was easy from these changes went much more smoothly than Monday's. We had no guardian machine failures or IOP DAC FIFO errors, and the MC REFL path stayed put. As such, once we went back to laser hazard, the IMC popped right back into business. Obviously, everything went smoothly because plenty of relevant parties were here on site. #sarcasm

I have not yet begun to make the necessary MEDM screen modifications (which is how I was able to get through the changes so fast). I'll begin doing so in a bit and post shots later.
I also have not committed any of the changed library parts mentioned below, because I'm not sure yet how LLO would like to roll out these past few days of changes. However, all top level models have been committed, since they don't affect LLO.

Details
-----------------
Of the list of front end models mentioned this morning, I got through
h1asc

SUS top-level models:
h1susprm
h1suspr2
h1suspr3
h1sussrm
h1sussr2
h1sussr3
h1susmc1     
h1susmc2
h1susmc3

SUS library parts:
FOUROSEM_STAGE_MASTER
FOUROSEM_STAGE_MASTER_OPLEV
SIXOSEM_T_STAGE_MASTER
HLTS_MASTER
HSTS_MASTER
MC_MASTER
Though the IMC models do not receive dither, they use the HSTS_MASTER and MC_MASTER parts, so the dither inputs had to be terminated at the top level. Minor mod, but still a mod.

I've also added place-holder IPC receivers to the top level of all BS, and all QUAD models, but they're terminated at the top level, since I've not yet made changes to the QUAD or BSFM library parts.

I attach lots of screenshots of the affected simulink models, to show how I've implemented the path.
