EPICS records for PCAL DELTAL correction
J. Kissel, E. Goetz

Now that some front end infrastructure is in-place for monitoring the systematic error of CAL-DELTAL_EXTERNAL against PCAL, we have to include corrections to DELTAL_EXTERNAL and PCAL to account for the impacts of anti-aliasing, delays, and imperfect estimation of the inverse sensing and actuation in the CALCS model. To that end, I have included these corrections as transfer function values stored in EPICS records (note that these are higher precision than what is currently written to the EPICS records; in the next days we will have a better solution to push these EPICS records to the front end)

These were computed by using the method pydarm.calcs.CALCSModel.deltal_ext_pcal_correction() for the CAL-CS_TDEP_PCAL_LINE*_DELTAL_PCAL_CORR_* channels. Note that this calculates DELTAL/PCAL correction and what we need to install (because the front end does a division instead of multiplication) is the inverse of what this method returns. We have also specified include_whitening=False, endstation=False because the DELTAL_EXTERNAL signal is not whitened and the PCAL channels are corner station channels.

Note that CAL-CS_TDEP_PCAL_LINE*_CORRECTION_* channels are computed the usual way using pydarm.pcal.PcalModel.pcal.compute_pcal_correction() using endstation=False inside of pydarm.calcs.CALCSModel.compute_epics_records().

We also had to be a little careful because the LINE1-3 PCAL channels are Y-arm channels while 5-10 are X-arm channels, so we had to make sure to set ref_pcal_2_darm_act_sign=1 for X and ref_pcal_2_darm_act_sign=-1 for Y EPICS records. This should be improved in a future merge request.
