clear errors #109

Closed laroque closed 7 years ago

laroque commented 9 years ago

Some instruments have an error buffer. Dripline should:

  1. check for new errors and report them to the user in some consistent way (#p8_alerts on slack probably)
  2. clear the error buffer after reading the errors
  3. support a standard "cmd" for check_errors so that a user can force reading/returning of clearing the error buffer (maybe instead of the first item above?)
    • Reading and returning errors gives users more info, especially remote users
    • Clearing the error buffer means when things are fixed they don't keep seeming broken.

This is all improved if we also fix issue #82, since that issue could include clearing the buffer as part of the initialization for the instrument.

I'd removing this issue because it is really an implementation-specific problem (ie dragonfly or others) and is independent of dripline itself.
