- Fixed a bug fix with Fixed motor in TAS code

- Made AMOR write HDF-5 data in chunks
- Added  driver for a PSI-DSP magnet controller as used at SLS
- Added code for directly accessing RS232 controllers connected to a
  terminal server, thereby bypassing the SerPortServer
- A rounding problem in the PSD histogram memory was resolved.
