PRMI locking

Sheila, Thomas, Jenne, Craig

We were able to lock PRMI this afternoon/evening, but we needed larger gains than expected. We will still need to spend some time with PRMI checking that phases, build ups and gains make sense.

Other details from today:

About the phase changes for 45MHz:

Jenne had adjusted phases using PRX on May 14th 41986, and found a phase shift of -40 degrees for 45MHz, while Thomas found -60 degrees using MICH last night.  For 9 MHz, Jenne's PRX phase shift was +60 while our MICH phasing was +75 degrees.   Some but not all of the phase shifts Jenne made on May 14th were lost in the model reboots on May 22nd.  

Two points of confusion that can be cleared up by the table below.  We moved the phase for REFL45 too far (we have added our phase shift on top of Jenne's), which might explain the low optical gain for MICH in PRMI.  Jenne had phased REFL 9 but not POP9, which is why TVo found that POP9 needed a phase shift but not REFL9. This can't explain the low optical gain for PRCL.
