DC calibration of IMC WFS
I made a DC calibration of IMC WFS A and B using an Ophir power meter and the IMC reflection beam.  Both give about 1100 ct/W.

Details:
* Both PDs had been left unplugged at the rack and their interface chassis was switched off.  So I connected the cables, powered them up and then centered them manually looking at the DC settings screens.
* Both gain switches on the front panel of the interface chassis were set to "LOW".
* There is currently a small ghost beam headed toward WFS A (appears to be created by its pickoff mirror).  I dumped that beam on a card for this measurement.

Data:
WFS A, measured input power 1.4 mW
