[ehmurray8]

Describe the bug
The program is checking to see if it can connect to the optical sensor, even when the optical sensor is not needed for the program's execution.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch the program
2. Open either program tab
3. Add a single sensor to one of the laser channel columns
4. Attempt to run the program without the optical sensor connected
5. Observe the warning about the program not being able to connect to the optical sensor

Expected behavior
Program should run, and should not check if it can connect to the optical sensor.
