We have made a few changes to the way the guardian manages the ISS second and third loops that we think will allow us to use the third loop and not have locklosses when DC coupling the third loop
- We have changed IMC_LOCK so that it now manages the input and output from the ISS_THIRDLOOP_SERVO filter, so we can avoid confusion about when the third loop will be on or off.
- Before the second loop is DC coupled, the third loop gain is set to zero.
- We made the code that engages the third loop into a function that is now called twice, in the states POWER_UP_TR_CLOSED which is requested by ISC_LOCK in INCREASE_POWER and once in NOMINAL_TR_CLOSED which is requested in NOISE_TUNNINGS
- We increased the ramp time used for engaging the third loop, from 3 second to 10. We hope this will decrease the transient that sometimes unlocks the IFO when the third loop is engaged with DC coupling on.
