Added new Inficon gauge to end Y (Y7 PT428)
WP 7491

Patrick, Richard, Dave

Everything except the DAQ has been updated and restarted. I ran into difficulty because it turned out that the new gauge required an updated version (1.3.0.0) of the ESI file. This had to be downloaded here: "https://products.inficon.com/en-us/nav-products/product/detail/bpg402-s/" (under the Downloads tab, the last item listed). Once it was downloaded I copied it to C:/TwinCAT/3.1/Config/Io/EtherCAT on h0vacey and renamed it from "ESI" to "Inficon_BPG402_V1_3_0_0.xml". For some reason this seemed to freeze TwinCAT and I had to log out and back in. It then turned out that the new version changed the names of the fields in the system manager, so I had to update my scripts to match these. This was the cause of the multiple restarts. I changed the settings of the gauge to read in Torr. I burtrestored to 11:00 am local. CP7 is recovering. Dave will restart the DAQ at the next opportunity.
