Violin mode damping: notify settings
Jenne, Rahul
This morning we made some changes to the Guardian Python code for the violin mode damping settings (with respect to notify window, please see alog 53776). This window was blinking when any manual intervention was being made.
The IFO is currently unlocked due to PSL issues, hence to test our changes we ran the code in the IDLE state. We applied some gain for one (or two) of the modes and the notify window successfully notified without blinking.
The next step is to see how this works when the IFO is locked (while being in Damping_on_DC).
Later in the afternoon when the IFO was locked, Jenne and I tested the new settings (in the Guardian python code) by applying a very small gain to one of the modes. And the notify window immediately popped up and stayed there without blinking. Once the old values were restored, the notification was off.
