Per JimW's request (alog 23032), I edited the ISC_LOCK guardian such that it throws notification messages when the ISS 2nd loop fails in the engagement. I have reloaded ISC_LOCK and checked the code into the SVN.

The notification messages will be displayed (1) if the IMC_LOCK guardian falls back to the LOCKED state (which is the programmed failure sequence) and/or (2) if the engagement process takes more than 4 minutes. The below are the new version of the ENGAGE_ISS_2ND_LOOP state. The red lines are the ones I newly added.

        nodes['IMC_LOCK'] = 'ISS_ON'
        self.wait_iss_minutes = 4.0 # in [min]
        self.timer['ISSwait'] = self.wait_iss_minutes*60 # in [sec]

    @nodes.checker()

        # notify when the ISS fails. 2015-Nov-3, KI
        if nodes['IMC_LOCK'] == 'LOCKED' or nodes['IMC_LOCK'] == 'OPEN_ISS':
            notify('!! 2nd loop engagement failed !!')    
        # notify when the ISS is taking too many minutes. 2015-Nov-3, KI
        if self.timer['ISSwait']:
            notify('ISS spent more than %d minutes. Check ISS'%(self.wait_iss_minutes))
        # if IMC arrives at the requested state, move on.
        return nodes['IMC_LOCK'].arrived
