Possibly the code should be restructered, and re-designed; there is
always room for imporovement. But what I'm doing is not unittest. My
program is controling and instrument (an x-ray powder
diffractometer) and some parts of the instrument are not working for
the moment, so i want to disable all error i get from this instrument
(are coded like exceptions)
