Python script to do weekly oplev trends

I've made a script to somewhat automate the weekly oplev trends FAMIS task. It makes 3 plots like the attached image of the oplev pit, yaw and sum channels for the test-masses, BS, PR3 and SR3. It still requires a little fiddling with the plot, you have to zoom in manually on any plots that have 1e9-like spikes, but this should still be easier than running dataviewer templates. It uses h1nds for data and a pre-release version of the python nds2 client that has gap handling, so updates in the future could break this. I'll try to maintain this script, so any changes or improvements should come to me. The script lives in the userapps/sys/h1/scripts folder.

The script is run by going to the sys/h1/scripts folder:

jim.warner@opsws0:~ 0$ cd /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sys/h1/scripts

And running the oplev_trends.py script with python:

jim.warner@opsws0:scripts 0$ python oplev_trends.py

You will then need to do the usual zooming in on useful data, saving screen shots and posting to the alog. I'll look into automating more of this, but it works well enough for now. It would also be very easy to add this to a "Weeklies" tab on the sitemap, which I believe LLO has done with some similar tasks.

I've now added the HEPI monthly pressure trends to the same folder. Admittedly, there's little difference here between running my python script and running the dataviewer template, as the HEPI trends all fit on one dataviewer window easily. But this was pretty easy to throw together, and may allow us to automate these tasks more in the future, say if we could couple this with something like TJ's shift summary alog script.

Running it is similar to the oplev script:

jim.warner@opsws0:~ 0$ cd /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sys/h1/scripts
 

jim.warner@opsws0:scripts 0$ python hepi_trends.py

For the oplev trends, they look good.  I'll update the FAMIS procedure to run this script instead of using dataviewer. 

Can you add the HAM2 oplev to this as well?  While its usefulness is debated, it is an active optical lever so we should be trending it as well.

Thanks Jim!
