Stream pupil diameter

[peabody124]

The current software only exports the pupil diameter as a control but we
need it included in the data stream and then out an analog output. There
are a few steps to achieve this.

1. The fifo currently has a 16 bit x and y position. To hold more data we
   need to switch to a 64-bit fifo
2. Pack the number of pixels into the stream. You can see how this is done
   in the existing FPGA software
   
3. Unpack the data in the host software
4. Add an analog channel to the output

For recording that data in parallel with the existing eye trackers then add three
analog channels ot the StateSystemAnalog task for the optical X, Y and pupil
area.

I went ahead and did 1 and 2 and kicked off compilation. On S3 in the /lab/users/james/Labview/EyeTrackerFPGA - S3 directory

Dear James,

Which code did you start with ? Remember, there was a fix that was made so that on setup 3 we did not have to run two different eye trackers. I am hoping you started with the fixed code. The fix was trivial, just had to name one of the clock references properly so can be incorporated easily easily if you started with a non-fixed version.

Best,

Saumil

you did start with the fixed code...
