SUS ETM Charge measurements

This morning, during a short window of pportunity, I ran the charge measurements on ETMX and ETMY.  However, the RF45 commissioners were apparently not aware of my hour-long time duration, so the measurements were corrupted at ~45 minutes in.  Thankfully the first few measurments ran somewhat successfully.   Although, numerous parties visited the end stations while the first few measurements were taken so the coherence is not great.  Unfortunately the ETMY measurements from last Fri failed so we do not have any ETMY charge trend between the 8th and today.  So, WE NEED ANOTHER HOUR of measurement time in the next day or so.  We can use the tail of an earthquake ring down if needed.  I'll be trying to pay attention to windows of opportunities for new measruements in the next day or two.

 

In any case, attached are the trend plots which include todays data - these seem to indicate that it is time to change the bias sign again on at least the ETMY ESD.  The ETMX ESD is "flatter in trend".

Here's a trend of the 9.5 bias sign for both ETMs, showing when the have been flipped.
