On Monday July 15th I edited the DRMI guardian to not use the limiter in the beam splitter, in part to see what the impact was on DRMI acquisition time, and in part to see if we saturate the coil drivers while trying to acquire with out the limiter on. 

This was a limiter that Kiwamu had installed several years ago, there is a high pass before the limiter and the opposite low pass after the limiter. 

We do saturate the beam splitter without the limiter on, and the acquisition time seems to be worse.  The attached histogram shows 46 locking attempts from this week (limiter on) and last week (limiter off).  

I changed reverted the changes in the DRMI guardian, so that we should be back to faster DRMI locking now.
