[evlatests] All EVLA antennas

[Pat Van Buskirk]

We found that it generates an alert, in grey, for the t5, with a DCSxx 
origin and monitor point ifdtp. The severity is marked as unknown with 
the action, "The severity for this alert has not been identified."

We're talking to Rob Long about how we can correct the alert to be more 
meaningful.

Cheers,
Pat

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We 
have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand -- and melting 
like a snowflake.
