Strange SQZ_MANAGER behavior today - will investigate tomorrow

Naoki, Camilla

See attached:

We will investigate this logic tomorrow. We think we got into a strange state as the FC was struggling to lock in IR but Naoki double the IR gain and SQZ_FC is now working.

  • at 2023/05/10 22:32:17 UTC to SQZ_MANAGER was in DOWN but the beam diverter was open
    • Issue: the Beam diverter was still busy as it had just been requested to open, see attached.
    • Solution: added a SYS-MOTION_C_BDIV_E_BUSY checker into the turn_off_sqz() function and a checker in DOWN.
  • at 2023/05/10 22:21:03 UTC SQZ_MANAGER was requested to NO_SQUEEZING but stayed at FDS.
    • Issue: SQZ_MANAGER didn't ignore us but the target, NO_SQZ, isn't a jump to state so it was waiting for arrive in FDS, but didn't see attached. Eventually beam diverter was closed when wait_for_fc timer was up and it jumped to SQZ_READY_IFO
    • Solution: we don't want to make NO_SQZ a jump state so I added a NO_SQZ request checker in FDS if the guardian hasn't yet arrived to return SQZ_READY_IFO. This means the beam div will be closed, there will be no squeezing and if NO_SQZ is re-requested it will successfully go there. 
  • Changed in SQZ_MANAGER.py svn version 25618 and reloaded.
