Dave, Jonathan, During earthquake down time we reworked systemd config controlling the CW injection. We make sure that startup/shutdown of the injection enforces a 10s ramp time. The system will try to auto start up to 4 time in 1/2 hour, with 5 minutes between attempts. We changed the startup script to: source /ligo/cdscfg/stdenv.sh caput H1:CAL-INJ_CW_TRAMP 10.0 caput H1:CAL-INJ_CW_GAIN 0.0 sleep 11 /home/hinj/Details/bin/x_start_psinject monit start caput H1:CAL-INJ_CW_GAIN 1.0 and the stop script to: source /ligo/cdscfg/stdenv.sh caput H1:CAL-INJ_CW_TRAMP 10.0 caput H1:CAL-INJ_CW_GAIN 0.0 sleep 11 /home/hinj/Details/bin/x_stop_psinject monit stop As a side effect of how systemd monitors it, when the process crashes, the stop script gets run which ensure that on a failure the gain is forced down to 0 with a ramp. So whatever was left in the awg buffers gets ramped down.
