We had this issue on BCU #1 and also on BCU #2

Description

Quando si configura le 2 schede HVC, qualcosa va storto e la scheda di sotto non si configura a modo. Ci se ne accorge perchè: 1) manca il tipico sibilino acutissimo che si sente quando tutto è a posto, 2) se sei nella shell ipython e dai un hvc.mirroSet() dà errore quando prova a cambiare il preshaper della 2 scheda. Sulla prima non ci sono errori. 3) Si sente un solo "toc" al mirrorSet.

Sembra che si scriva roba nella HVCboard[1] e lei non capisca. Se si rilegge la roba scritta, si trova altro.

La cosa non sembra dipendere dal nuovo software di configurazione: fa lo stesso anche con la versione vecchia a scripts.

Un power-cycle della BCU può talvolta risolvere.

Occurence

When	notes
20121019_xxxxxx	Scompare solo facendo un power-cycle della BCU
20121022_114xxx	Scompare solo facendo due power-cycle della BCU
20121025_101600	Lo seguita a fare spesso, sempre sulla scheda di sotto
20120327_153000	On dspUploadCode, on board HVC1, on the new unit BCU #2
20140125_112200	On dspUploadCode, on board HVC1, on BCU #2. email to MPIA with workaround
20140203_130000	Seen also by Mario in OAA
20150304_153800	Failed 5 times in a row (BcuNumber1). Ccd_viewer does not show frames and frame rate oscillates between 800 and 1000Hz.
