ACU Agent: "irregularity during motion" triggered by lagging mode change #619

Closed mhasself closed 8 months ago

On LAT, around 2024-01-15 23:17:35+00:00 and 2024-01-16 04:35:25+00:00, saw generate_scan failure.

This is likely because the azimuth axis transitioned to "ProgramTrack" mode a little too slowly. Currently there's probably about 0.7 seconds between commanding the mode and when it starts getting "checked" in the main loop. That's clearly too short, but really the code should block until the mode is read back successfully (or times out).
