Fix: Recycle FEBs and run control

SVT Start-up Procedure

1) If it is running, kill Rogue by deleting the GUI SvtCodaRun.py that is running in hpsrun-clonfarm2 (TigerVNC window).

2) In a terminal on hpsrun-clonfarm2: source resetDataDpms.sh
This is in clonfarm2:/data/hps/slac_svt/srver/heavy-photon-daq/software/scripts

3) In the terminal in which Rogue had been running, execute "cob_dump --all atca1
In the resulting print-out, look for all codes to be 0xea. If they do not all go
to 0xea, then execute cob_cold_reset atca1 and then cob_rce_reset atca1.

4) If FEBs are powered on, power them off in the GUI window svtFebMain.adl as follows:
At the top of the window next to "ALL FEB" do in this order
a) Turn ANAN off
b) Turn ANAP off
c) Turn ANAN off

5) Start Rogue (SvtCodaRun.py)

6) In the TigerVNC window where RunControl is (CODA), execute the Configure and Download. Doing this early, at this state, can prevent problems that sometimes occur if this is done after the SVT startup.

7) In svtFebMain.adl, at the top, next to ALL FEB, turn DIGI on. The wait until all the digi currents exceed 1.0 amp (about 10 seconds). Then in quick succession turn on in this order: ANAP followed by ANAN.

8) In the Rogue GUI SvtCodaRun.py Variables tab, set "Poll Enable" to True.
Watch below there for all of the links to turn "True".
To be sure, click "FebArray->AXIVersion->Uptime and watch to see that the Uptime is
incrementing every few seconds

9) Go to the HpsSVTDAQRoot tab in Rogue and click "Load Settings". Select the file
rce-test-eel.yml. Wait for that to complete (takes a few seconds).

10) Go back to the variables tab in Rogue and set "GlobalHybridPowerSwitch" to "On"
Wait for all the ANAP currents to settle.
If a FEB is not responding at this point, in Rogue set Poll Enable to "False" and
then power cycle just the bad FEB in the same sequence as described above, again
waiting for DIGI to go above 1 amp before turning on ANAP and ANAN.

11) Go again to the HpsSVTDAQRoot tab in Rogue and repeat the "Load Settings".

12) If all the FEBs look good (green) and SVT bias is on, then CODA should be ready
for "Prestart" followed by "Go"
