[labnetwork] Support for Air Products Gas Guard Gas Cabinets

[Dennis Schweiger]

Devin,

I would check with Tom Britton at Critical Systems.  They've been pretty
good about supporting the older legacy AP cabinets.  At least that has been
my earlier experience.

Here at UofMichigan/LNF, we have several Air Products cabinets (AP10's),
that when the controllers die, we'll replace them with controller hardware
from AES (saving the gas panels and sheet metal cabinets), as the rest of
our gas cabinets were supplied by them, and we're looking to
standardize our operator interfaces.  There'll be some work involved, but
long term, we feel this is the smartest direction for us.
