Instrument set-up

The user interfaces for ALFOSC/FASU, NOTCam and MOSCA/FASU where upgraded with a facility to read their configuration information from a database instead of a simple text file. This will make them able to integrate into the new optical element database where all relevant information about optical elements are stored. This is essential for the definition and automated execution of any Observing Blocks (see below). The commissioning of the system for ALFOSC is close to being finished and the versions for NOTCam and MOSCA will follow shortly.
