IMC Lock losses => TTFSS Fast Gain adjustment

We're having some mysterious lock losses as we move from large CARM offset to less large offset. With the DRMI locked, the ALS starts bringing the arms in and the ALS / IMC lose lock.

Suspecting the recent FSS tunings, we looked at the FSS screen. The FAST gain was down at +5 dB. Also, the EOM Drive readback was up at +3V. The attached plot shows the EOM readback (PC_MON) as the FAST gain is tuned.

I have left it at 22.2 dB, where the EOM drive is minimized. IN mid-April, there are a series of entries from Rick and Peter where the loop is tuned up, but the fast gain is turned down incrementally from 21 to 5 dB. Why so??

Also, it seems like we should aim for a ~250 kHz UGF for the FSS to avoid the peaking at 1.8 MHz where the notch is not getting all of the EOM resonance.
