FCU lamp warm-up test cals, taken at least every 2 months, ideally spanning hot and cold weather

More detail can be found here, describing how this script works. It should take about 35-40 minutes to collect warmup data on all lamps and generate a graph. The script will automatically send Steven J an email when it is finished.
