Building LAT Configurations

Since ConfigSystem builds and manages both LATC_XML and LCI_XML in discrete sections some mechanism is needed to bundle together the sections into a coherent whole. On one side this is handled explicitly by MOOT, however it is also useful to provide an XML format to bundle the configurations. Here is the XML syntax for doing this grouping.

  <LPA_XML>
    <!-- One Node per precinct -->
    <Precinct Name="ACD_Bias">
      <!-- One Node per parameter file -->
      <paramFile>FileKey_0</paramFile>
      <paramFile>FileKey_1</paramFile>
    </Precinct>
  </LPA_XML>

We use the same syntax for grouping the parameter files needed for LCI scripts, except that we replace <LPA_XML> with <LCI_ACD>, <LCI_CAL> or <LCI_TKR>. Also, in each of those cases, there will be an extra precinct for the LCI instructions. Those extra precincts are called ``ACD_LCI'', ``CAL_LCI'' and ``TKR_LCI'' respectively.
