EPICS: generation of DBs and GUIs for HV

Following procedure generates *.db and *.adl/*.alh files for High Voltage applications.

 cd $APP/hvca/db/

Create *.dat file with following format:

 clonpc1:db> more caen.dat

Columns have following meaning (NEED CHECK !):

  1 - group name (channel name, will be used as part of EPICS channel access variable names)
  2 - group number
  3 - allow (?)
  4 - ioc number
  5 - mainframe address (for Lecroy by jumpers, for CAEN by IP names, test setup mainframe numbers must be >100 ???)
  6 - slot number
  7 - submodule (?)
  8 - channel number
  9 - voltage (demand, V)
 10 - mvdz (measured voltage, V)
 11 - mcdz (measuerd current, uA?)
 12 - rump up speed
 13 - rump down speed
 14 - tc (trip current, uA?)
 15 - voltage (max, V)
