partial load and modified filter files resolution

Jeff B, Arnaud, Kiwamu and Dave

I'm instigating a weekly resolution of partially loaded or modified filter files. The philosophy is that pending filter changes shoud be applied regularly, preferably during Tuesday maintenance. Unloaded FM changes are time bombs which can impact on recovery time following a model restart, computer reboot or power glitch.

Running the command "check_filtermodule_load_status" this afternoon gave the output:

       h1psliss: has partial load, further investigation is required (last load was ISS_SECONDLOOP_QPD_SUM Complete)
        h1susim: DAQ load later than Filter load, check for possible DAQ errors
                                                                filter: Fri Jul 25 10:20:21 2014
                                                                   daq: Fri Aug  1 15:49:33 2014
       h1susmc2: has modifed IIR file, investigate any prior loads
       h1sussr3: has modifed IIR file, investigate any prior loads
        h1pemcs: has modifed IIR file, investigate any prior loads
          h1oaf: has partial load, further investigation is required (last load was RANGE_RLP_1 Complete)
        h1iscey: has modifed IIR file, investigate any prior loads
      h1hpietmx: has partial load, further investigation is required (last load was ETMX_ISO_X Complete)

        h1susim: DAQ load later than Filter load, check for possible DAQ errors
                                                                filter: Fri Jul 25 10:20:21 2014

Here is the resolution:
 
1. Dave and Peter K installed a new low pass filter on the PSL ISS. We did individual FM loads. Resolved this by performing a full COEFF LOAD of PSL ISS.
2. Not strictly a FM issue, the SUS IM had its DAQ RELOAD button pressed at 15:50 Friday 1st August. No DAQ change occurred (INI file was unmodified) so presumably a mistaken button press. No action needed.
3. H1SUSMC2.txt file was cleaned up by foton. After verifying changes were just in formating, we resolved this by performing a full COEFF LOAD of SUS MC2.
4. Arnaud verified this was a mistaken change to H1SUSPR3.txt, resolved by reverting file back to last SVN version. We cleared the status by performing a full COEFF LOAD of SUS PR3.
5. I (Dave) was doing some FM testing on PEMCS. Resolved by COEFF LOAD of PEM CS.
6. Not sure why OAF was changed. Resolved this by performing a full COEFF LOAD of  OAF
7. Many differences in the H1ISCEY.txt against SVN (almost a year of mods have accumulated). Kiwamu gave us permission to resolve by performing a full COEFF LOAD of ISC EY
8. Looks like an individual FM LOAD COEFF was made which was ineffective due to an non-modified file (perhaps a mistaken button press?). Cleared the status by performing a full COEFF LOAD of HPI ETMX
