Test Beckhoff for new EOM driver

Daniel gave me the test rig for the AM stabilized EOM drivers that we should be receiving from Caltech this week.  This allowed me to test that the Beckhoff controls and readbacks work as expected.  I also made a summary screen (ISC_CUST_EOMDRIVER.adl) of these readbacks and controls, which is accessible from the LSC dropdown menu on the sitemap. 

The chassis is labeled "Corner 6", and has 2 unconnected connectors labeled "EOM Driver A" and EOM Driver B". 

The "A" connector controls the 45 MHz channels, and the "B" connector controls the 9 MHz channels. 

The controls and readbacks performed the same for both channels, so I'll only write out the list once.

I need to investigate the situation with the "Excitation Enable" switch, but other than that we should be ready to go when the EOM driver arrives, if we decide to install it.

The RF setpoint goes from 4dBm (lowest setting) to 27dBm (highest setting) in steps of 0.2dB. The binary should start at zero for the lowest setting and increase by 1 for each step. This is a PLC problem.
