SXD: Tensile Stress Rig: Create Templates/Substitution files and OPI for the tensile stress rig

As a scientist on SXD I want to be able to use the tensile stress rig via IBEX

Acceptance Criteria

[ ] There is a ticket for device testing which has an agreed date/time with scientists and SE
[ ] There is an OPI which is likely to be similar to the VI front panel in content, but this should be confirmed with the instrument scientists
[ ] There are template substitution files for use with the IOC from #8264 which covers the dds server.vi on the laptop for the displayed items and the functions below

The Front Panel of the VI

Values to read regularly

Control Name	Data Type	PV Name(s)	Notes
Display	Numeric	TIME LOAD ELONG	The string value returned for this is an array to split between the PVs given Load and elongation are plotted as a graph against each other
Mode String	String	MODE
Direction String	String	DIR
Motor Status String	String	MOT:STAT	If this value is not "Stop", then a MOT:ACTIV Boolean should be true
Control Status String	String	CON:STAT
Motor Control Mode String	String	MOT:MODE
Temp Status String	String	TEMP:STAT

Strings to write (in this order) on a speed change

Command	PV Name(s) (for %values)

Strings to write (in this order) when a stop is requested

Command	PV Name(s) (for %values)	Notes
StopMeasurement,T

Extra Information

Note that PV names are partial, and suggestions
Note that many strings written in succession should be throttled so that they do not occur too frequently (delays of 120 ms in the VI)

SUPPORT LVREMOTE IOC OPI Epics Top

To test, run the tests, first ensure both the LVREMOTE and the DDS Stress Rig Support modules are built. Then run the IOC in recsim and check the OPI, (you can use caput -a %MYPVPREFIX%DDSSTRES_01:SIM:ARRAY followed by up to 7 characters to set the array) Then run the vi and without recsim (Note the VI must be running before the ioc starts in order for the ioc to properly connect). Check that IOC can react to values, some may seem off due to the values in the VI defaulting to empty even though they would never be empty if the instrument was running. The VIs to run are: ISIS LabVIEW Service.llb dds server.vi and possibly dds.vi (theoretically not needed, but dds server.vi refused to interact with the remote labview without this being running for me).
