The file-writing infrastructure must be able to write entries into the instrument journal.xml (and from there into the instrument journal MySQL database)
This is intentionally phrased as
file-writing infrastructure
as this may not belong in the filewriter itself, but in a separate cooperating process.

Potential differences from existing files
Not all fields in the current journal.xml make sense in the streaming system, for example:
icp_version; this could be populated with a filewriter version instead.detector_table_file does not exist in the streaming system. Suggest populating this entry with UNSPECIFIED or similar.spectra_table_file / wiring_table_file do not have the same meanings/formats/locations in the streaming system. Programs which expect to be able to read a specific format from the filepaths in these entries will fail.
