Boosting DARM low frequency gain

[Elenna, Dan, Gabriele]

We tested a filter (FM8 in DARM2) that increased the DARM gain below 3-4 Hz, where most of the RMS is accumulated.

The DARM RMS is reduced by a factor of 3. There is no immediate evident effect on the DARM noise aboev 10 Hz. However, it would be useful to test this new filter for a longer time in the future.

Tagging the Cal group, since I think we'd like them to weigh in on when they might have availability to recalibrate using this new filter.

We have implemented this filter today and a calibration sweep was run with the filter on to determine the changes to the calibration.

The new filter is in FM8 of DARM2, and will be engaged in lownoise length control along with another DARM res g that is engaged.

I accepted the SDF in observe and loaded the guardian.
