new awg to man verion - Problems with get_data 
1) Alex has installed the latest code last night to get the new version of awgtpman going. We hope this solves the drive issue we were having. I did several quick tests (1 mn long). Everything seemed to be working fine.

2) I have started longer measurements (6 loops of 12 mn each). And I have been having issues with get_data.

I have increased the number of attempts to 25. It helps but doesn't solve the issue. The run ends up to crash. I copied the error message below.

It looks like we have been having two type of issues:

1- several attempts are sometimes necessary to get the data. That's what I was seeing during the quick tests.

2- The second issue is that the disk got full during the long test. Dave is fixing it.

We should be back to system identification shortly.
