IO IM investigation lead to counting the number of HAM2 ISI trips in the past year

The IMs in HAM2 shift alignment after the HAM2 ISI trips, and as part of my investigation into the alignment shifts, I counted the number of ISI trips in a year.

Interestingly enough, Hugh and I both estimated 20-25 ISI trips in a year, however the number is much higher, at 94.

What I also discovered that in Commissioning Mode, the ISI trips an average of 10 times / month, while during the O1 run, the ISI trips an average of 5 times / month.

Since H1 was not vented, it's expected that the IM alignment shifts will continue through O2, and we can expect 5 times / month while in the science run.
