Yesterday's update to RCG version 5.1.1 introduces several changes. The following will immediately affect commissioning:
- New filter modules start with input off, output off, and gain of zero.
- New 8x decimation filter, see https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-G2202011. This affects the decimation of h1iopomc0 ADC signals to the user models.
- IPC parts should only be at the top level of the model. This is now enforced.
- The SDF screen now guarantees an accepted change is saved before removing the difference. If the change can't be saved, the difference remains.
- Background color on the SDF screen changes depending on whether the SDF is in SAFE, OBSERVE or something else.
- There's a new option for loading only monitored channels from a snap file.
- Status lights on the top of GDS TP screens are reorganized, There's a new light 'FLT' that will turn red if filter coefficients did not successfully load.
A more complete list of changes for this version and past versions can be found here: https://git.ligo.org/cds/software/advligorts/-/blob/master/NEWS
Thanks to EJ Dohmen for making these improvements.
And no further need for custom RCG builds for h1ioplsc0, h1iopomc0, and pi-models
