Locking again at NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE
After several locklosses at REDUCE_CARM_OFFSET, I took it very slowly. I stayed at DRMI_LOCKED until the saturation alarm complained less about ETMX. Even though the wind speed is only 15-20 mph but PRM seems to wiggle a lot so I turned on the 90 mHz windy blend filters for all the corner station BSCs. The intent bit has been set to observing.
The OMC-DCPD RMS is a about an order of magnitude lower than the threshold. I turned on the 2nd stage OMC whitening. Intent bit was still set to Observing. The BNS range is slightly above 70 Mpc.
