A New T240 has arrived!

A brand new T240 has arrived from Nanometrics; the first of several over the next few year to replace our aging GND STS population. Yay, thanks Ken! 

The (order?) number on the outside of the 3 boxes we've received is 53341-2, and the serial number of the instrument itself is 953.

Our plan (eventually) will be to replace the ill-performing ETMX GND STS with this new instrument.
and then take the ill-performing STS and bury it outside to support wind-fend testing a la LHO aLOG 25842, and G1600548.

Arnaud has graciously offered to update the DCC's inventory E1200068. 

For now, I've put the T240 back in its box, and left it with the other two boxes in the shipping-and-receiving area. We still need to figure out the appropriate readout electronics situation, since we'd borrowed from 3IFO the *last* time we used a T240 at EX, and we'll now need both an STS readout (for outside) and T420 readout system (for inside).
