Y Alignment (Ed, Patrick, Keita)

1. While working from home talking to Ed over the phone:

Changed IY, EY and TMSY alignment back to in-lock position. Then manually align things -> Y green transmission 0.6, locks, but WFS doesn't like it. Disabling DOF3 didn't help, enabling just DOF1 or just DOF2 didn't help, it just ran away.

Asked Ed to do baffle alignment but I don't see that it actually completed.

2. I came in and sit with Patrick.

Did baffle alignment for TMSY and ITMY, then manually aligned ETMY -> Y green transmission 0.9-ish, locked. Started with WFS DOF1 and DOF2, very low gain, didn't run away. Enabled DOF3 but the servo wasn't doing anything for the camera position. Increased the gain to nominal (0.2) and it worked.

Now TRY is about 1.1, looks good, ready for initial alignment.

Apologies for not posting about running the ditherAlign script. As far as I could tell, it ran and brought me right back to locked on TEM00 mode at just below .6 (normalized).
