OFFSPEC: add front bench #9028

Description

@rerpha

As a scientist I would like my front bench to track the beam, currently without a supermirror but in the future using one.

This is currently already in their config as a component, but no parameters or drivers have been set up:

Basic motion commissioning and testing is essential before this work starts as it's the front bench has not moved for a long time.

There will likely be a slot for doing this at the end of the March 27 cycle.

acceptance criteria

  • offspec front bench motion (two jacks and horizontal slide) are recommissioned
  • reflectometry configuration is updated to add the parameters for angle,offset and seesaw
  • reflectometry configuration is updated to add drivers for the two jack axes and the horizontal slide. Unlike the rear bench this does not have a Chi axis as it doesn't rotate.

Notes:

  • future work will involve adding a liquid mode and also recommissioning the supermirror and adding it to the reflectometry configuration. time estimates on this are unclear.
  • especially without a supermirror, the bench should follow the same max/min angles as the rear one, but it's pivot point is the supermirror Z position rather than the sample point.
