AO-TCS Software Issues

Here follows a list of issues related to the interfacing of the AO Supervisor with the LBT-TCS.

In order to be able to test as much as possible the AOS softweare in the solar tower, we need the following:

1. That the TCS properly calls the required AOS functions as explained in TcsComSequences.
2. That the code of the OSS related to the hexapod is upgraded with what is needed to allow safe operation of it (see HexapodInfo).
3. That the mode offload mechanism is implemented in the TCS as detailed in OffloadModes.
4. That the subsystem implementing the offload modes mechanism (PSF, according to my information) can be run in Arcetri without the telescope mount and other pieces of the telescope, but correctly driving the hexapod through the OSS.
