Hi all,

After several talks with Jeff Kissel and the LHO SUS team, we agree that a procedure for testing is needed.
With my little understanding, it seems that every type of suspension goes through 7 different steps:

1. Set up the offsets and the gains for the OSEMs in the MEDM.
2. Centering the OSEMs.
3. Static test (to check out the sign of the OSEMs)
4. Linearity test
5. Diagonalization
6. Quick transfer functions with DTT
7. Full set of transfer functions

What I'm trying to do since the beginning of last week is to have one/several scripts for each of these steps.
These scripts would be generic and work for all type of suspensions.

My ambition is to have something where the user just have to push the run
button to have the results.

I created two folder in the SVN:
/ligo/svncommon/SusSVN/sus/trunk/Common/Channels_lists/
/ligo/svncommon/SusSVN/sus/trunk/Common/Generic_Testing_Scripts/

So far I have worked on several scripts which are working fine, but still need a little bit of adjustment (please don't touch them for now !).

I will be at LHO until the end of the week. Before my departure, I will put all the informations about those scripts and how it could work (if everybody agrees) in a procedure.

Cheers,
Sebastien
