DAQ Restart, added back EY Beckhoff Channels, PSL Centroid still not acquiring data

I restarted the DAQ to accomplish two goals: install the latest Beckhoff slow channel configuration (including baffle pds and the return of EY) and reconnecting to the PSL Centroid channels.

I was successful with the former, not successful with the latter.

The PSL Centroid channels are still not connected, and the reason is there is no EPICS Gateway between the H1AUX and H1FE VLANS. I am not comfortable installing a brand new EPICS gateway on Christmas Eve afternoon, so I'll delay this install until later in the week when I am physically on site.

The number of slow channels the EDCU is acquiring went up from 19,311 to 21,328. Both of these numbers are 8 less that the total ini channel count due to the missing 8 centroid channels.
