A few minutes ago Travis started a CAL EY EXC as per Kiwamu's instruction. I suggested that we see if the starting this EXC would kick the IFO out of OBSERVATION mode. Of course it didn't (so he had to hit the UNDISTURBED button anyways) because according to Jamie's new screen, it shouldn't.
My question is, why would we not monitor excitations on all machines? (Ones that aren't being monitored are the ones with unlit grey boxes in the ODC column. Screen snapshot below.)
I wish I could some how follow the grey bit back through ODC screens and find what it is or isn't looking at but the channel names are very unfamiliar and the nested screens are very difficult to understand... For example, why is the "ISC_EX" bit grey? There is no channel name when I try to middle click over it, so I can't trace it anyways.
Recall, you can only open the screen directly from medm via the macro comand:
medm -x -macro "IFO=H1" EXCITATION_OVERVIEW.adl
Note, when Kiwamu started a SUSETMY EXC, it DID flip out of OBSERVATION mode. So that's good.
Betsy, There is no PCAL ODC. The "grey ODC bits" on Jamie's new screen do not exist.
