Cycled power for TCSIOC and PLCIOC

TP2 and TP6 started

TP1B does not start. TP1B controller does not start up correctly - controller will have to be replaced. E-fault submitted (10739).

Controller for PS for Q1,6 was switching constantly. Unplugged and plugged back in resolved the problem

TP1A started

Kyle and Dave were able to get all the canbus optics for ISAC test stand re-configured except one device: TMS:Q2

"We investigated and it looks like the controller board for the TMS:Q2 supply is toast. Unfortunately these boards are a very old style so we don't have a surplus of replacements on hand. Our electronics shop did have some spares but the spares are not ready for use and need to have a few components soldered on. " - Kyle

The repaired controller board should be ready for next week.
