Solves #59 by adding a new tool in the ELINKS menu, to align elinks based on the bunch crossing headers and idles from a short pedestal run.
The alignment process is now:
ROC->RESYNCLOAD
ELINKS->HARD_RESET
ELINKS->ALIGN
repeating 2 and 3 until all links are aligned.
The BX headers and idles do not unfortunately seem to be a perfect metric. One time I had hits in the TOA due to misalignment, even when the BX headers and idles were perfect. Since the TOT and TOA should both be zero on a pedestal run, that could be yet another data quality check.
