Today I spent some time working on the DRMI guardian. It now is controling the state of the ITMX, IMTY, PRM and SRM suspensions. It can transition smoothly between PRX, PRY, and MICH on the dark fringe with just one click. Hopefully this makes the repeated alingments of PRMI easier.
Notes:
-
Due to the buggy input matrix loading, you might need to check that the elements that got set are actually set (look for red). The guardian is checking for this error in PRX PRY, but I didn't get to addding much error checking to the MICH or PRMI states yet.
-
None of these states can cope well with the situation where something gets kicked and is saturating, if that happens human intervention is needed, you should be able to simply request the down state, wait until everything is settled down, and then request the state you want again.
-
You will have to save alingments before changing the guardian requested state to a different configuration, otherwise your alingments will be lost. The DRMI guardian should warn you with a user message i this is happening.
-
I made only the states which are tested requestable, so if it is on the pull down menu I think that it should be working. The only questionable one is PRMI carrier, which was working OK last night but I didn't have time to actually see it lock today.
-
When one of these configurations losses lock, they do not go back to the down state (unless the IMC also lost lock), they just go to the LOCK state. If you want to start from scratch and reset parameters, manually select down.
