Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when the ocassional tile overview locks on

Describe the solution you'd like
when this happens it can be rescued through the shell with

scope.frameWrangler.stop()
scope.frameWrangler.Prepare()
scope.frameWrangler.start()
scope.cam.FireSoftwareTrigger()

I do not know how necessary the framewrangler restart is, but in the past when we've tried simply pausing and following with another software trigger we haven't had much luck. If I hit this again I'll try just with the trigger first and see what happens.

Describe alternatives you've considered
