IFO in DC READOUT TRANSITION, Large Slow Oscillations
J. Kissel, T. Sadecki, C. Whittle

We found the IFO Up and running this morning when we got in, and it had be up for the last 8 hours. It was stagnant at 2 [W] input power, in DC READOUT TRANSITION. However, I noticed immediately that just about all IFO signals were reporting huge slow oscillations. I attached a screenshot of one of Sheila's strip tools that shows the oscillation was present in the ASC signals for at least 80 minutes, then a trend of the entire lock stretch revealed that there was a power oscillation in the Y arm at similar frequencies. As of writing this aLOG we've lost lock; unclear if it was because of Chris's testing out of ITM charge measurements, or if the oscillation just finally got out of control.

I won't speculate what this might have been, but I wanna capture it for the record and talk with the vanguard in case it has something to do with any of the new SRM alignment scheme (i.e. LHO aLOG 28538).
