We were seeing the typical difficulties with MICH_BRIGHT not locking (see Jenne's investigations of the cause of the problem here 51409 ) When ALIGN_IFO recognized that MICH isn't locked, it goes to DOWN, but then immediately tried to relock, when the beam splitter is still swinging too fast. TJ and I edited INIT ALIGN so that it will set the request of ALIGN_IFO to DOWN in this case and wait 30 seconds before re-requesting MICH_BRIGHT.
This doesn't solve the problem with the MICH locking, it just prevents us from pointlessly cycling between DOWN and MICH locking while the BS is still swinging too much.
