Status Update:  The FGT geometry and pedistal values are now being read from the common database.  Everything still works just fine.

Here are three screenshots.  I'm playing around with colors.  In the first, every strip is drawn.  Colors are drawn in sequential order as the electronic ID increases.

In the second image, only the "good" wires are drawn.  Anything with stat!=0 has been removed.

In the third image just the bad strips are drawn.  stat == 0 removed.
