Kiwamu, Stefan, Jenne, Matt, Evan,
We've almost recovered from yesterday's "maintenance". Kiwamu found this morning that the X arm camera servo had been off, I think this was a miscommunication/mistake durring maintence recovery which probably lead us into some bad alingment last night. Stefan/Kiwamu/Jenne did some realignment this morning and early afternoon, and we were able to lock with good recycling gain and were stable at 24 Watts.
The gain of the OMC DC PDs was wrong this was picked up by the SDF put I am not sure what maintence acvitity would have caused that. The ETMY ESD bias had the wrong sign. Stefan added it in SDF.
We were able to lock momentarily at low noise, and lost it for reasons that we don't understand yet, but might have been a slow alignment instability.
About 2 hours ago the wind picked up, we have gusts up to 35-40 mph, forecast to stay this way until 1 am. Our improvement to the offloading of DRMI has certaintly helped with windy locking, DRMI locking is still slow but it does lock and stay locked. Stefan has rasied the gains that are used for acquisition, we can try to get some statisctics about DRMI lockign times. Now we get to the next windy locking problem, which seems to be the handoff from ALS COMM to the transmitted arm powers for CARM.
