---++ Module Setup Sequence

   * Hook module up to communication board. 
   * Create database entries for Positioners: 
   * Module number represents physical location (1,2,3.. 42)
   * Board number is for addressing in code (1,2,3.... 84) and can be changed if one module fails.
   * Create XML. -> Johannes TODO: write XML generator: include: motormap data from newscale, estimated locations, frequencies from Newscale, ontimes from Newscale
   * Set frequencies -> FPGA forgets all frequencies, so MPS has to send them to FPGA after reboot of the system. 
   * Or, Calibrate motors to get frequencies. 
   * Frequencies can be stored in MPS database but HK does not overwrite them! So to set existing frequencies, currently the only command is cmd_addSetFreqCommand_ToFoga.  For MSIM we have a command in calibration script that generates a set freq script. 
   * MPS command cmd_sendMotorFrequencies gets executed on startup and sets FPGA frequencies from MPS database.
