 +=== Temperature Readout === 
 +  * ssh to hadanapc5
 +  * go to /DCS/Temperature/
 +  * make sure, vxi11 is an executable. Check with ''$ ls'', name of vxi11 should be green. If not, run ''$ sudo chmod +x vxi11''
 +  * run ''$ python3 main.py''
 +  * in the script, you can adjust the ''TIMEOUT = 120'', which is the waiting time between measurement cycles and ''IP = "192.168.10.14"'', which is the ip address of the Keysight module
 +  * the last measurement is always print out in the console.
 +  * the data for the different protos are saved in seperate files in a directory named after a unix timestamp
 +  * the time stamp is the standard unix one
 +  * you can also read the temperature of the sensors without logging with ''$ python3 single_readout.py''
