To-do List

0- Change Mott_SemiInt to the new mode: reads integral and pedestal instead of only integral 
1- Update MottOnline
2- Add BPM Analysis
3- Replace "PEPPo" with "Mott" in scripts, decoder, ... .
4- Add delayed helicity analysis for Mott_Sample and Mott_SemiInt Modes. Delayed analysis is already included for Scalers and
PEPPo_Int Modes.

5- Upgrade from MVME6100/VxWorks to Intel/Linux CPU.
6- Add Block Readout

7- At one time, we used minicom to hard reboot the Mott DAQ VME crate. This service was discontinued. Instead, we will use the RS232
connection on the CAEN VME64X VME8200.
8- Upgrade opsmdaq0.
9- Standardize "msql" on opsmdaq0.
