locking today

Evan, Sheila

This morning we had truoble with DRMI ASC.  THere are a few things that seem to have helped (in addition to intal alingment and some by hand alignment), and how the guardain is reliably getting to analog CARM. 

Currently we are in a similiar situation as the last two nights, we can lock the interferometer but loose lock within a few minutes.  We have lost lock even while sitting on analog carm, we have been able to switch PRCL and MICH to POP sensors but suddenly lost lock about a minute latter.

The sudden locklosses seem to happen only after switching the CARM sensor to REFL9 (the digital or analog version). We can set at 5 pm CARM offset seemingly indefinitely, but any full-resonance lock (after the sensor is switched to REFL9) is a few minutes or less.

The LSC OLTFs (including the digital CARM) all look fine on resonance --- no evidence of loop instability. Debugging REFL9 seems like the next logical step.
