H1 SEI/SUS System Infrastructure Updated as per T1200478
J. Kissel, H. Paris

Hugo and I updated the operational H1 SEI and SUS systems as described in T1200478. Unlike with H2, we were not plagued by RFM IPC issues, so the update when extremely smoothly (done within half-a-day). Since they're the only one's running, we updated
HAM2-ISI, HAM3-ISI,
MC1, MC2, MC3, PRM, PR2, PR3, SR2
successfully. 

Notes of interest to others: 
- With the updates, we're now running 62 PCIe IPC channels over the dolphin network; "dangerously" close to the 64 channel limit (there's no danger at all actually, we just won't be able to have more than 64 until RCG 2.6).
- I've edited the h1susim.mdl top-level model to include new sender IPC parts to broadcast the PR3 optical lever signals (which come in on the susham2b front-ends). Consequently, I've added receivers in the h1suspr3 model, which -- with these upgrades -- now accepts its optical lever as the QUADs have (i.e. using the QPD.mdl library part). 

As with the H2 SUS, there's a similarly long list of "OK, now actually *use* this new infrastructure," to-do items:
- Installing values into the new infrastructure
     - 4k to 16k AI filter for ISIWIT path
     - Calibration filter for ISIWIT path
     - CART2EUL matrix elements for ISIWIT path
     - OPTICALIGN offset calibration gains
     - EUL2CART matrix elements for OFFLOAD path (MC2 and PRM only)
     - 16k to 4k AA filter for OFFLOAD path (MC2 and PRM only)
     - 2k to 16k AI filter for ISCINF ASC P and Y signals (MC2 and PRM only)
     - Install whitening compensation filters into PR3 OPLEVINF bank
     - Install OL2EUL matrix
     - Fill out all matrix elements in PR3, PRM, and SR2 
     - update/create safe.snaps
- Start using calibrated sensor path, as has been done with L1 HSTSs
     - turn on "to_nm" or "to_um" filters in OSEMINF bank
     - compensate for calibration in DAMP bank
