I'll keep developing the camera server on a parallel track using the "new_..." directory naming convention. One thing I forgot to note is that the new pylon/pypylon packages require Python 3, so will not work with any of the 2.7 scripts. All of the environment I need to set up is exclusively Python 3. I won't change anything in the Python 2.7 environment in current use.
Also, I found the source of the bit resolution issue: Joe B's code loads a set of initialization parameters from a config file. One of them is "Frame Type = Mono8" which sets the dynamic range of the stream. I'll look into how this should be changed.

Since there are multiple SURF projects that rely on the cameras:
- I moved the new installs Jon made to "new_pylon5" and "new_pypylon". The old installs were moved back to be the default directories.
- The bashrc alias for pylon was updated to allow the recording of videos (i.e. it calls the PylonViewerApp from new_pypylon).
- There is a script that can grab images at multiple exposures and save 12-bit data as uint16 numpy arrays to an HDF5 file. Right now, it is located at /users/kruthi/scripts/grabHDR.py. We can move this to a better place later, and also improve the script for auto adjusting the exposure time to avoid saturations.
