Changeset 15137 for trunk/FACT++/scripts

Timestamp:

Message:

Reoragnized and improved the output; instead of just waiting for the voltage to get up, we now wait until the steps between two ratecontrol induced updates are reasonably small. The pure waiting was too short (espacially during bright moon light) and might have effected a lot of pedestal and light-pulser runs. The waiting was typically 30s, but it can take up to two minutes.
