11# As a First step we want to calibrate the current, which are read from the bias crate,
12# and not take a DRS calibration, as it is mentioned in the data taking page...
13# so for this we should get the feedback and biasctrl programs into known states
14# I think it is good to try a RECONNECT to the bias, and make sure the voltage is off
15# Since we do not know, what the feedback program is doing at the moment, we should as well,
16# tell it to keep its mouth shut ... just to be sure, we know whats going on

26# be in state 'VoltageOff'(7) more or less immediately

29# if these assumptions are all wrong, then we might have been properly connected anyway,

37# in case we reach this line, the voltages are all off, and the feedback does not do anything
38# So lets do the current calibration, therefor we tell the bias crate to ramp up just 1 single DAC count(~22mV)
39# the result of this action is, to get bias_ctrl into the state 'VoltageOn'(9), but since we only go one DAC count it shouldn't take long

46# now we may tell the feedback program to calibrate the currents ...
47# I do not understand, if I have to explicitely allow the feedback program to generate output,
48# or if it just produces output...
49# As far as I understand, the feedback output enable status is the same,
50# as it was before I send the STOP command... so it is unknown at this point.
51# and in addition enabling or disabling the output, when STOPed is not possible as far as I know...
52# I try to enable it anyway.

66# Thomas Bretz told me, that the feedback, after this is step has disabled its output
67# and is in the mode, we might call 'temperature control' even there is no temerature beeing controlled.
68# I don't know where the voltage is ... in order to perform the calibration, the feedback had to
69# ramp up to 2V below the operational voltage, i.e. about 1V below the breakdown voltage
70
71# We want to take a DRS amplitude calibration so we have to ramp down the bias voltage.
72# this 10sec wait is needed in order for the bias not to disconect all the time...
