+# In 2010 on the DIMES UK2 cruise, it was found that the instruments did
+# not communicate correctly, unless the slave was woken up first. On previous
+# cruises it had also been found that the order in which the instruments are
+# woken up can matter, although it had not been recorded which of the instruments
+# has to be woken first. An early workaround consisted in having a commented-out
+# toggle_instrument statement at the beginning of reset_two_instruments. In case
+# the communication did not work, that statement could simply be uncommented.
+# Another workaround would be to switch the serial ports the master/slave
+# ADCPs were connected to. Neither workaround is satisfacory, of course. Therefore
+# I decided to modify the routine reset_two_instruments to wake up an instrument,
+# determine whether it is the slave and, if not, send it back to sleep, toggle,
+# and wake up the other one. I am hoping that this is solves the problems once
+# and for all. If not, the code between the ### WORKAROUND markers should be
+# removed because it slows down comms with the ADCPs even more. In case of
+# wakeup/comms problems, the serial lines should then be switched.
