Install of new CAL models at both end stations on the ISC front end computers

WP4888

Two new H1 front end models were created, h1calex and h1caley. They run on the end station ISC front ends, using the 4th user-model core. We assigned them the next two spare DCU-IDs  (h1calex=124, h1caley=125).

The cal models currently only have the PCAL subsystems. I took the latest version of the PCALX code from h1odcx (where it was temporarily installed for testing) and installed on both end stations. The models' channels have the prefix H1:CAL-PCAL[X,Y]_. The CAL models are located under SVN in the ISC path (isc/h1/models/h1cale[xy])

The CAL models use the first ADC because they require the DUOTONE timing signals. The PEM models were modified to use the 4th ADC. The ISC models continue to use the 2nd and 3rd ADC and did not need modification.

The CAL models use the newly installed 18bit DAC card. This card is also used by the PEM model to drive unused channels (I modifed PEM accordingly).

The DAQ master and H1EDCU_DAQ.ini files were modified to include the new CAL models.

The IOP models h1iopisce[xy] were modifed to add the 4th ADC and 18bit DAC.

All models on the ISC front ends and the DAQ were restarted several times during this install.

Here is a summary list of model changes

h1iopiscex add ADC and 18bit DAC
h1iopiscey add ADC and 18bit DAC
h1pemex switch ADC from 1st to 4th and add 18bit DAC, filter modules to drive unused DAC channels
h1pemey switch ADC from 1st to 4th and add 18bit DAC, filter modules to drive unused DAC channels
h1odcx remove PCALX part from this model
h1calex New CAL EX model. Uses 1st ADC and 18bit DAC (first channel)
h1caley New CAL EY model. Uses 1st ADC and 18bit DAC (first channel)

The CDS overview MEDM screens (large and small) were modified to include the new end station CAL models. Also the h1oaf0 was modified to put in place holders for the GAMMACAL and CALCS models which will be installed soon.
