Generator script
The generate_master_screens.py script in the /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/medm/master directory does the following:
1. Makes a new file for each optic of each YYY_DEFAULTNAME_XXX.adl file
2. DEFAULTNAME gets replaced by an optic's name when the script is run. BS, ITMX, ITMY, PRM, SRM, MC1, MC2, MC3
3. DCU_NODE_ID gets replaced by the dcu id of the optic's front end model, such as 21 for BS, ITMX, ITMY optics.
4. Copies the files to the correct sub-directories in /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/medm/
