1 -6 status on first setting request

There are reports of consistent 1 -6 errors.

There is this consistent, repeatable acsys behavior I don’t understand. The first time (in, say, a given work day) that I try to run a script which reads and sets some toy Z:CUBE_n devices, acsys.init() fails with acsys.status.Status: [1 -6], like below. Then I re-try within a few minutes or seconds, and it’s fine.

We can add a 5-second timeout here: https://github.com/fermi-ad/acsys-python/blob/78833871ce08aa524a6696077e6628d2ea567b62/acsys/dpm/__init__.py#L714

                                      proto=acsys.dpm.dpm_protocol)

This should allow enough time for the extra auth overhead.
