Now we can bring up hsdpva like "hsdpva DAQ:TMO:HSD:2_41:A DAQ:TMO:HSD:2_41:B".

NOTE: check for A and B cable swaps as described above using the link id's shown in hsdpva and kcuStatus.

Fiber Optic Powers

You can see optical powers on the kcu1500 with the pykcu command (and pvget), although see below for examples of problems so I have the impression this isn't reliable.  See the timing-system section for an example of how to run pykcu.  On the hsd's themselves it's not possible because the FPGA (on the hsd pcie carrier card) doesn't have access to the i2c bus (on the data card).  Matt says that In principle the hsd card can see the optical power from the timing system, but that may require firmware changes.
