Calibration Line Changes -- Increased amplitudes of PCALX Systematic Error Lines
J. Kissel

We're finally to the point where we are able to review the results of the online measures of the systematic error (the new-to-O4 PCALX lines at the below listed frequencies), and we're finding that we need more SNR, (increased coherence, decreased uncertainty). 

Recall, we first set these heights blindly in July 2022 (LHO:64214), but live front-end processing of the data didn't appear until May 03 2023 (LHO:69285) -- from which the data is stored "in the frames" via EPICs channels, which means we can look at, and trend the results and compare against other IFO channels with all the usual tools.
This week, we've begun reviewing those results as the *modeled* systematic error (ldas-jobs.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/~cal/) starts to become trust worthy (post yesterday's calibration pipeline update; LHO:69696), and we're trying to validate the "grafana" live processing of these lines (calibration-monitoring).

I've increased three of the four the line height amplitudes by a factor of 3 and one by 4, as indicated below:

PCAL                    CAL-CS DEMOD    Frequency    Amplitude     Amplitude    Ratio 
OSC Number              Number          (Hz)         New (ct)      Old (ct)     (New/Old)
  PCALX_PCALOSC4        LINE5           33.34        40     10           4.0x
  PCALX_PCALOSC5        LINE6           53.67        30     10           3.0x 
  PCALX_PCALOSC6        LINE7           77.73        30     10           3.0x
  PCALX_PCALOSC7        LINE8          102.13        60     20           3.0x

These changes have been in place as of the NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE segment that started on 2023-05-18 22:30 UTC.

    This shows the change in amplitude of these four lines. 
        - RED -- the new H1 amplitudes
        - BLUE -- the corresponding L1 amplitudes (they have better noise at the lower frequency end, so they don't need to drive as hard to achieve the same SNR, or coherence, or uncertainty)
        - MAGENTA -- the old H1 amplitudes

    This shows how the measurement of the systematic error, and its corresponding uncertainty has improved.
    The lowest panel shows that the uncertainty on the above mentioned DEMOD output has decreased from 4-5% to 1-1.5%. as expected.
    One can see by the magnitude (top) and phase (middle) plots that one can much more clearly read off the value of the trend of the systematic error.

    This shows that not only have I SDF accepted the values of the new SINGAIN in the PCALX SDF system (not shown), I've also matched the amplitude increase DEMOD LO gains in the CALCS model (shown).
