QDAC1: Allow slopes greater than 10V

[jpsecher]

- Handle excess output
- Report errors in complex commands

Hmm, I just tried the same trick on the QDAC2 driver, and it did not work as expected, that is, the timeout was not overridden...

If that is the case, the patch will make the driver somewhat unusable.

this is strange. note that the self.timeout parameter is in seconds, not in milliseconds (like self.visa_handle.timeout) - could that be the issue?

[jpsecher]

Of course it is in seconds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfnC_3Uxj2I)

So the value has to be divided by thousand. I am not sure how to do it here in Github though...
