# NOTE2: Tcal --> Hardware change (now it should be consistently at 3-4 K)
# NOTE3: Two problems: 1)No power in bb2 (operator could confirm looking at the WFFTS vnc). 2) FW connection to specpol broke.
--> solution two both:
1) restart specpol (python comm.py--> kill--> python -u SpecPolRingNbe.py >> Log...)
2) operator restarts telescope software+fitswriter
3) reload the receiver
