WP8166 fix h1oaf1 timing slips, new IPC channels from quad sus to calcs

Jenne, Jeff, Dave:

New h1susetmx, h1susetmy, h1susitmx, h1susitmy and h1calcs models were installed. Three new IPC channels from each SUS to CAL were added (local Dolphin for ITMs, long-range Dolphin for ETMs). DAQ restart was required for all 5 models (SUS had some TEMP channels removed, adding IPC senders does not change DAQ).

WP8176 C-Code change for h1seiproc

Jim, Dave:

h1seiproc was restarted with a new version of the PEAK_MON.c code. No DAQ restart was required.

WP8168 h1sqz channel rename

Sheila, Dave:

A new h1sqz model was installed to fix three channels with bad naming.

H1:SQZ-DCPD_RATIO_[2-4]_dB_MON changed to H1:SQZ-DCPD_RATIO_[2-4]_DB_MON (dB becomes DB)

To preserve raw minute trend data for these channels, I renamed the minute_trend files for these three channels when the DAQ was being restarted. I verified this was successful by trending the new channels over the past month.

WP8174 Beckhoff SQZ PLC4 code changes

Daniel, Dave:

Daniel made changes to h1ecatc1plc4 code. We found that the sdf for this system had stopped, so I restarted h1sysecatc1plc[1-4]sdf systems on h1ecatmon0. A new H1EPICS_ECATC1PLC4.ini was created. A DAQ restart was required.

DAQ Restart(s)

Dave:

First DAQ restart was for h1susetmx, h1susetmy, h1susitmx, h1susitmy, h1calcs and h1sqz model changes. It was a messy restart, mx_stream went bad for h1sush2a (h1susmc[1,3], h1suspr[m,3]) which required a start_streamer to fix.

Unfortunately at this point I realized I had not restarted the external EDCU (h1edc) to sync to the new Beckhoff changes, so...

DAQ restart number 2. This time a regular clean restart for new h1edc channel configuration.
