News: Windows update policy; Lambda server update; simple door (fast feedback); Slow spock start, slow fio recording

• Windows update policy:

  SR: the absolute deadline for the switch to Windows 11 is the day Windows 10 is officially End of Life. Thats the 14.10.2025 My target is to finish the switch sometime around the wintershutdown 2024/2025

• Lambda server update: to LambdaCtrl-v2.11

  Fixed issue of stuck at MOVING state during scan (P23 reported)

  The reason is when one acquisition is finished, some of messages from receiver is delayed and tango server thinks it's already ready for next acquisition. That caused error randomly if one starts a new acquisition.

• simple door: an example of how to analyse data during a scan can be found here

• slow spock start, slow fio recording: maybe due to time-outs caused by non-responsive motors. Where to look:

   
  The spock startup file: 
    /home/p99user/.ipython/profile_spockdoor/startup/00-start.py
  executes
    os.system('MotorLogger3.py -x -q -c spock') 
  
  The fio recorder senses FlagFioWriteMotorPositions to decide whether or not write
  the motor positions to the .fio file.
  

  Solution: execute MotorLogger3.py -x by hand to find the devices causing the delay. Start servers or edit online.xml, if necessary.
