The automation of the 2nd loop engagement has been updated to use the front end funcionts (alog 25473) and confirmed to be functional.
We do not have to do the manual engagement any more. Yay.
[some more words]
I have tested the automation once as part of the full locking sequence in this Wednesday. The test in full lock exposed some minor issues with my implementation (e.g. some settings were not properly initialized and etc). Today I fixed the IMC_LOCK code so that the automation startd from the proper initial settings. I tested the new implementation with the input mode cleaner multiple times and confirmed that it was functional as intended. The automation is fully implemented.
