Description
When I use rot to rotate the detector around the y axis in the location element of the instrument definition file (rot="60.0" axis-x="0" axis-y="1" axis-z="0"), the detector is rotated correctly. When I try to use roty to do the same rotation, it rotates in the opposite direction.
<parameter name="roty">
<value val="60.0"/>
</parameter>

(In [6098]) Removed call to populateInstrumentParameters() in LoadEmptyInstrument since LoadEmptyInstrument calls LoadInstrument which calls populateInstrumentParameters(). Since roty "adjust" rather than set rotation calling populateInstrumentParameters() say twice causes roty to be applied twice. re #1576

Vickie gave the green light that parameter rotation now appears to work
