Description
The switch to using the G3Timesample object to store data instead of IrregBlockDouble in #128 allows us to store strings in a G3String. The OCS Feeds check the type of data being passed to them and previously strings were restricted. This allows them to be published on Feeds.
Motivation and Context
The M1000 Agent being developed in socs will pass string descriptions of the state of the hardware along with integers which encode those strings. Without this patch the strings cause an error to be raised when publishing to the Feed.
How Has This Been Tested?
Tests updated to try passing a string to the feed (and pass locally.) I've also been developing the M1000 Agent and passing strings from it based on a patched OCS with this change.
