[OpenSPIM] MultiChannel Acquisition Implementation

[Winfree, Seth]

Johannes and list,

I've made pretty good progress on the hardware implementation of multiple channels for our L-SPIM.  On the software side I've adapted drivers and firmware to control my homebuilt DAC (6ch for now) and NEOS-AOTF setup in micromanager and pulled everything into the SPIMAcquisition plugin with the Device abstraction, a new DAC class and DAC voltage GUI.  Eventually there will be a wattage calibration.  I also have a Sutter 10-2 implemented in the SPIMAcquisition plugin via Device and a FilterWheel class.  Right now these new devices can be accessed and controlled through SPIMsetup.  I do need to push all these changes to a new branch... getting there.

I'm now thinking through the acquisition side of things and before I get to far down a particular path I wanted to see if there were any strong opinions about the implementation of multiple channels.  I believe I understand how you've implemented acquisition and haven't found a simple way to add the extra dimension of channels (DAC and filter wheel).  This could be because I'm missing something in the implementation though.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
