appropriate time, based on *starttime*. If *starttime* is not
on a PPS boundary it is bumped up to the next PPS boundary. If
*starttime* is not given, the earliest possible start time is
used.
*start()* will require a needed arm delay time, which is
specified in every mode section of the configuration file as
*needed_arm_delay*. During this delay it tells the HPC program
to start its net, accum and disk threads, and waits for the HPC
program to report that it is receiving data. It then calculates
the time it needs to sleep until just after the penultimate PPS
signal. At that time it wakes up and arms the ROACH. The ROACH
should then send the initial packet at that time.
If this function cannot start the measurement by *starttime*, an
exception is thrown.

*start()* will require a needed arm delay time, which is
specified in every mode section of the configuration file as
*needed_arm_delay*. During this delay it tells the HPC program
to start its net, accum and disk threads, and waits for the HPC
program to report that it is receiving data. It then calculates
the time it needs to sleep until just after the penultimate PPS
signal. At that time it wakes up and arms the ROACH. The ROACH
should then send the initial packet at that time.

exception is thrown.
