Problems with shutter

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/het/hetdex/src/tcs/trunk/integration/cal.py", line 329, in <module>
    expose( inst, lamp, 'blue', xbin, ybin, cont_lamp_count, custom_exp )
  File "/opt/het/hetdex/src/tcs/trunk/integration/cal.py", line 141, in expose
    x_binning=xbin, y_binning=ybin, type=obs_type, object=objname )
  File "<string>", line 3, in expose_method
pytcs.error: remote exception: remote exception: Timeout occurred while waiting for shutter to open

Remedy:

1. on tcs mcs gui goto the pfip/fcu control button
2. in the pfip control box goto the bottom where it shows shutter
3. there are three controls: open close and home and one reporting space, which was saying unknown home gets rid of the unknown state
