CPD3 loggable instruments

The NOAA in-house software 'CPD' is able to log data from multiple instruments and from multiple instances of these instruments on the same computer. Data acquisition is done via serial port, with a serial hub being used if more than one instrument is installed. In some cases, data is transferred to the computer via ethernet (e.g., Thermo O3 49iQ).
