locking tonight, SRM dither signal, some requests for help

We didn't get to DC readout until after midnight tonight.  There were no huge problems, but several things that it would be helpfull if someone could follow up on:

In the end we got to DC  readout, and Evan, Carl and I had a look at the dither alignment for SRM pitch using POP 90 which is now in the ADS matrix.  The script that is in userapps/asc/h1/scripts/ditherSRM.py sets things up, and we could see that we have an error signal that responds to moving SRM and has a zero crossing at a good alignment.  We tried closing the loop but we probably hadn't turned the gain up enough and broke lock for an unknown reason, by this time our alignment had become rather bad and we had a small EQ. 

Since the optics are drifting so much tonight I'm not going to do an alingment now, but if the morning operator could start by doing initial alignment when charge measurements are over that would help us get started tomorow.

The Yaw alignment of the ISI's has a temperature dependence (i don't remember the number but it is something like the expansion coefficient of Aluminum 2.2e-5/K, with some geometry that is going to be slightly less then 1),   if the platform  was running with a DC offset, turning it off and then back on could produce a drifting Yaw alignment
