Code Review

• Is the code of an acceptable quality?
• If the change is to an OPI, does the check_opi_format.py script in C:\Instrument\Dev\ibex_gui\base\uk.ac.stfc.isis.ibex.opis pass?
  The opi check does not pass, but the reasons are not valid in this case and not an error.
• Do the changes function as described and is it robust?
• Is there associated PR for the release notes?

Final Steps

• Reviewer has also merged the release notes

• In legacy mode, the levels tab disables itself, but the diagnostics & board statuses ones don't (despite their PVs not connecting/being useful in legacy mode). I think those two tabs should also disable themselves.
• In SCPI mode, on the advanced screen under diagnostics the PVs for current limits and heater current don't connect. If they're not available in SCPI, then those indicators should hide themselves - otherwise the user may get worried by the presence of purple disconnected boxes.

Eventually managed to get the opi running under Eclipse - had to reinstall Eclipse 2024. OPI looking good and can confirm the SCPI tabs disable when in LEGACY mode.
