Collaboration Case:  Handle Setup File

Description: A Setup File is an ASCII file in a special format, describing setup parameters for an equipment (in our case the telescope).
It receives and processes this parameters.
Setup files can be sent complete or partial and are merged into the currently used setup.
Also commands that set specific parameters change the currently used setup.
Setups can be sent to take immediate action (forwarded to all subsystems, e.g. Preset) or they just update the currently used setup without immediate action on the telescope (NoMove keyword specified).
