get_optics method added

[hammerfiber]

Hey ckishimo,

I tried once more, in a number of ways, to get the CRLF/LF issue fixed to no avail. I'm not really sure what to do here. I see you've implemented a majority of my changes from my previous attempt at a PR (that suffered the same line ending issue).

Perhaps this PR can be merged, and we can figure out how to fix the line ending issue once both our repos are similar?

I've tested this get_optics() on both MLX and CER/CES platforms I have access to (everything is 5.8 or greater).

Thanks!

Thanks @hammerfiber !

Yeah, I waited some time and eventually I decided to implement the support for CES/CER

May I ask you to re-submit the PR against the devel branch I just created ? sorry I was not expecting contributions :-)

Not sure I understand the issue with CRLF/LF...so I'm happy to merge all the other changes but this one

Let me know

so despite my best efforts, no matter what I tell git, when I checkout netiron.py from your repo (or my fork) I get the "^M" line endings. that's why my pull request looks like a wholesale repeal/replace of your code.

what text editor/platform are you writing on?

[ckishimo]

I'm using Sublime on linux/ubuntu... AFAIK the "^M" line endings may appear if we mix linux/windows editors. I googled it and if you are developing in Windows, you may need to use git-config to fix that. Please have a look: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1889559/git-diff-to-ignore-m

I'm using nvi on openbsd. I added the core.autocrlf setting and rebuild the index but that did not work, as you can see.
