Very low laser operational temperatures #221

Just tested trying to push a laser to below 10C and the software wouldn't allow it. Turns out we need to send commands to the Thor8000 temperature controller using scientific notation instead of as a double. Fixed problem going below 10C but was implemented on the chopped up version of code to run on windows 10. Should be implemented on most recent version.

Added the commit to the IndividualChildControl.llb. Just had to change the function that does the conversion from "NumberToFractionalString" to "NumberToEngineeringString". The Thor8000 is expecting something in scientific notation.
