Hi Nico,

The fix appears to have worked. No Timeout issue with uManager 1.4.

I couldn't get the andor lib to load since the Linux SDK seems to be behind
the windows SDK once again, so I will be moving back to uManager 1.3 until
Andor updates the Linux SDK update.

I also have a related or unrelated timeout with the XY Stage. I am still
trying to determine if it is a hardware issue or a software issue. I see a
XYStage time out around ~column 6 of a well plate. Physically bumping the
manual XY Stage controller when I see this happens prevents a uManager
timeout. This is a bit harder to reproduce and nail down.
