Watchdog tests on ETMY

Arnaud, Rolf, Jim, Dave

At 15:10PDT we ran a 1Hz Sine excitation of ETMY to test the HWWD. Prior to the test we reduced the trip level on the HWWD to its minimum value of 60mV. Arnaud brought the excitation amplitude up slowly until the PD error condition was triggered on the HWWD. At that point the RMS read back from the HWWD was about 600 counts (on a PEM ADC channel with the 10xgain AA) and the SWWD was recording about 88mV. Arnaud was happy leaving the ETMY in this state for several minutes, so we let the HWWD run through its two 2 minute count downs. All worked correctly.

The next test is to excite ETMY using the ISI system on BSC10.
