Changed agent code to handle connection drops without crashing the acq process.
Description
When a connection drop occurs, the process will stop the current loop and attempt to run
init_lakeshore
to re-initialize the data fields. The re-initialization will try once every second until reconnection and then the loop continues.Motivation and Context
Addresses connection drop issues seen across all groups using LS240's.
Possibly fixes #418 and any other old issues?
How Has This Been Tested?
Tested by pulling USB connection and re-connecting. Testing environment is a nuc machine at Yale running Ubuntu 18.04 (required for Anyplace coolgear drivers to work). Works on LS240's connected either directly to nuc or to the Anyplace device.
