In this example we wish to build a single test configuration with the ACD bad channel mask file new_acd_mask.xml. This involves four steps: 1) importing the new mask file and making a new alias to point at it, 2) making a new ACD_Mode vote which reference the newly imported bad channel file, 3) making a new LPA vote file which reference the newly made ACD_Mode vote file, 4) building the new configuration.
