ITMY CHETA Laser in LVEA turns on, Beckhoff working.

Sophie, Miriam, Fil, Camilla 

The ITMY CHETA laser table that we moved to the LVEA turned on fine when tested this morning. The alignment appears be good after the move. Fil added it into the interlock on Tuesday. 

We needed to adjust wiring of fan to get it to run. Laser ran fine, Flipper powered on but wasn't behaving as expected, expect we may need to reprogram it (T1700462) as it's not had power for many months. 

The Beckhoff system is working, we have been able to move the rotation stage and read back powers. When the laser enable (H1:AWC-ITMY_LASER_ENABLE) was off, the laser could not be turned on.
