New ITM ASC plant inversion filters ready for testing
Designed new filters for compensating the ITM PUM->TST P2P and Y2Y drive path.

- There filters were originally designed starting with Jeff's suspension model. They were then tested and fine-tuned using an optical lever feed-back.
- They include inversions of the two suspension poles - slightly offset in frequency to guarantee stability.
- They also have a notch to kill a rung-up suspension modes a 3.1Hz and 3.3Hz. That will prevent high BW feed-back, but that's currently not planed for the ITMs.
  (I rang up the 3.31Hz mode in ITMX PIT, and thus copied that everywhere. ITMY YAW I actually rung up 3.12Hz, so I moved the notch for that one.)
- They were gain-matched to the old filters at low frequencies.

- The filters were installed in FM10 of the ASC filter banks for DSOFT and CSOFT (see below). They should replace the old lead filters in FM2.

Evan, Stefan,

We engaged these filters successfully with gains of -0.3 in pit and 0.2 in yaw in the IFO ENGAGE_ASC state. We used a -20dB reduced gain during engaging, and then ramp up.
