Description
## Where?
As an instrument scientist on EMU I would like to be able to control the pressure PID parameters from software when running the VTI cryostats in automatic pressure-control mode - where IBEX calculates and sends a pressure to the pressure card of a mercury based on the current temperature & setpoint temperature.
Currently the Mercury is set up in auto-PID mode on the pressure card, and manual PID mode on the temperature card.
This ticket is to have a meeting with EMU scientists & cryogenics to fully understand:
- Why this is needed functionality and how they would like it to work
- What the existing PID parameters are (that are being defined by the mercury)
- Whether the PIDs from settemp should set the *temperature card* PIDs, the *pressure card* PIDs, or both
- Whether this wants to be done via `settemp` or whether IBEX needs to support this via something like readascii
- etc
## How?
Arrange a meeting with EMU & cryogenics to discuss the above.
## Acceptance criteria:
- [ ] Meeting had including EMU scientists & cryo group
- [ ] Follow-up tickets generated for implementation
## How to Test
