J. Kissel, J. Warner We've lost lock due to a non-exciting earthquake, re-acquired up to DC Readout Transition watching the violin modes carefully, but we lost lock there (while sill controlling DARM with ETMX). Upon the *next* re-acquisition, though, the ETMX violin modes were incredibly rung up. As such, we stopped at Shutter ALS and baby-sat the ETMX modes until the DCPD RMS was reduced from 1e4 to 2e3. We used Ed Merilh's as our babysitter configuration for the now-problematic ETMX MODE 4 at 505.805 Hz, namely driving in Length, Pitch, and Yaw, ~75 gain, FMs 1 (505.805), 2 (-60 deg), and 4 (100dB). This was successful, so we've now programmed this into the guardian. We highly recommend operators hold any re-acquisition from now on at SHUTTER_ALS, wait for the OMC to lock, then grab a ~0.005 mHz spectra, and opening the outputs of ETMX first 5 violin MODE filters to make sure that violin modes are not rung up. Then, if violins are OK (i.e. RMS of DCPDs is less that 2e3 [ct]), you can go to the first Violin Mode Damping state but be prepared to turn the damping filters off before things get terrible! Only one more month of this, team -- we can do it!
