Tuesday Maintenance, upgrade front ends to RCG2.7.2

Dave and Jim,

We had compiled all models against RCG 2.7.2 yesterday. This morning we installed and restarted these models using the sequence:

The PSL models were not recompiled nor restarted, that system is in use today by the PSL and AEI teams.

The h1lsc model needed a manual press of the BURT button on the GDS_TP medm screen to get it to start.

The h1isibs and h1isiitmx models showed an INI mismatch with the DAQ. Vincent made some more BSC ISI changes. After he was done, I restarted the DAQ. About half of the front ends went into a 0x2bad DAQ error. I restarted the MX_Streams on those systems which cleared the error.

The frontends which went into the bad state were sus(2a, 34, 56, ex) susaux(b123,h2,h34,h56,ex) sei(b2,b3) lsc0, asc0, iscex (total of 14)

We expect the upgrades to have fixed the erroneous Binary IO initial state readback, and the unresponsive matrices.

The DAQ was upgraded to 2.7.1 some time ago, the front ends went to 2.7.2 today (which has the addition of the matrices fix) to essentially complete the 2.7.1 upgrade.
