Oscillator
Sometimes the Oscillator doesn't want to mode lock. Even if it's been pretty good lately. Gil has found setting it to 309xxx on the prism and 622xx on the slit is the best to mode locking, plus only slightly adjusting OC knobs(starting with the vertical one).
Inlite
If you unable to connect to the attenuator GUI, you can unplug the power and usb cables and plug back in. this should help most of the time.

Running the Experiment
Had Buffer_size Error, in regards to the Teledyne. that's because I wasn't calling the correct teledyne in gasket_functons.py.
in Mainrunner, I set tele_type='beamprofiler', which leads to teledyne_1 being connected, but I wanted teledyne_3. So I created, tele_type='OAB' which leads to teledyne_3 being connected.
if I want to run my N shots from the mainrunner script. I need to set Inhibit to Trig, Flip switch to T0, State to Frequency. and (in mainrunner) whattodog='manual'.
if you want to use the the Oscilloscope, The RUN button much be Red, when you connect to it. It will not connect properly when the SINGLE button in lit Green.
