Locking Notes

[Jenne, DanB, Jamie]

The alignment that Dan et al. found last night (by moving PRM and BS) was causing us lots of trouble for locking, although it was fine for them last night.  DRMI liked it, but full IFO didn't. 

Did an initial alignment, but DRMI ASC is still fussy.  So, I've pulled out the DRMI ASC except for MICH.  Now we can at least reliably get to DHARD WFS.  Made it to NomLowNoise fine after this.

I tried increasing the gains of some ASC loops to hold on to things tighter, in hopes that it would reduce angular motion and as a result scattered light effects.  I thought I was winning some Mpcs, but after some on/off tests, I think it must just be that the ground motion or other things were changing.  Increasing the gains of ADS for PRM, and PRC2 for PR2 seems to make the PRC2 residual motion a bit lower, but I think I'm not actually wining any megaparsecs. 

The things I was changing:

I'm leaving the DC centering notches in place, but all the other changes had been made by hand, and aren't in the guardian.
