physical E-stop button(s) in 105. Easiest is a single throw switch to control power to the whole room (is this what we already have by the water chillers?). Ideal would be an array of switches to the different devices, or at least clusters of devices (tube furnaces, box furnaces, arms, etc). This would live by the door.
software E-stop from the dashboard. This would link to the emergent_stop() methods in alab_management.device_view.device.BaseDevice. Benefit == remote control in case we see errors over CCTV. Downside == software e-stop is less reliable than hardware.
Two possibilities, I think we should do both:
