REFL YAW ASC sensing matrix

I injected a line at 8.5 Hz in both CHARD yaw (amplitude 1.0) and INP1 yaw (amplitude 3e6) and measured the response of the REFL WFS (in units of WFS / loop output)

  CHARD YAW INP1 YAW
REFL_A_RF9_I -0.00265 0.227
REFL_B_RF9_I -0.00296 0.113
REFL_A_RF45_I -0.00240 0.351
REFL_B_RF45_I -0.00272 0.237

The RF9 signals have a slightly better SNR than the RF45 signals, so I inverted the 2x2 RF9 matrix (and rescaled so that the response should be the same as the input matrix in guardian)

  REFL_A_RF9 REFL_B_RF9
CHARD -1.50 3.68
INP1 1.00 -0.88

For comparison, now we are using the following input matrix:

  REFL_A_RF9 REFL_B_RF9 REFL_B_RF45
CHARD 1.00 0.20 1.30
INP1 1.00 -0.40 -0.20

This matrix has the same response as the new ones for the diagonal CHARD > CHARD and INP1 > INP1 elements, but the off diagonal element from INP1 to CHARD is much larger.

Finally, to have a complete picture we should measure the PRC1 and PRC2 response in the REFL WFS.
