SUMMARY:  Had the Control Room to myself in the evening.  Unfortunately, H1 was a bit finicky (see Locking & Initial Alignment notes below) & drove me crazy for an hour or two, but eventually it went to 20W.  Will probably leave it here for the night.  Violin modes (& harmonics) are rung up.

Config Changes noted for EY on the CDS Overview:

ISI:  If we want to address this with reboot, take ISI to a non-sensor correction state first.  Then load new filters.  But can leave until the morning for Jim to take care of this.

Commissioning:

Soft Loop investigations at the beginning of the shift. (Jenne, Sheila)

Locking Notes:

Switched the input matrix values back for the TMS Soft Loops which Sheila alogged about earlier.  Tried locking, but DRMI did not look good.

Initial Alignment Notes:

Went through a couple of alignments and both times had issues with INPUT_ALIGN.  For the first time, the MC would not hold lock (so I skipped it).  For the second time, the Xarm flashes were good, but it would not lock.  I doubled the XARM gain, but I couldn't drop it back down without the Xarm breaking lock (aligned while keeping the gain at the doubled value of ~0.15).  Then moved on.

After the first Initial Alignment, could not make it past LOCKING_ALS.  Eventually went for the 2nd Initial Alignment (& had INPUT_ALIGN issue noted above, but atleast made it through the step).  Went for locking and this time had none of the LOCKING_ALS issues!

[Puzzled about what the deal is with INPUT_ALIGN!  Atleast in my attempts, it seemed to definitely affect whether I could get past LOCKING_ALS.]

Leaving H1 at the INCREASE_POWER (@20W) Guardian state for the night.
