Post 2023-08-31 Calibration Change Systematic Error Model vs. Measurement Update
J. Kissel, L. Dartez

After the calibration update today (2023-08-31; LHO:72594) we now have automatically generated comparisons between measured systematic error in the GDS-CALIB_STRAIN channel (as measured directly by PCAL) vs the traditional model of the systematic error. The results look great.

I attach two automated comparisons to highlight the difference:
Before from 1377445828 2023-08-30 15:50 UTC:
   - pre- 2023-08-30 maintenance, 
   - pre- DARM2 FM8 boost turn on, 
   - \kappa_T is still a 1.08, so DELTAL_EXTERNAL (which isn't corrected for time-dependence) disagrees with GDS-CALIB_STRAIN which does.
   - still not having updated the sensing function since we turned OM2 TSAMS back on
   - the modeled systematic error is still using GPR fits of measured data from 2023-06-21 and prior
vs. 
After from 1377561032 2023-08-31 23:50 UTC:
   - post-calibration update
   - DARM2 FM8 boost is accounted for,
   - DELTAL_EXTERNAL and GDS-CALIB_STRAIN agree
   - All TDCFs are close to 1.0
   - Modeled systematic error is now using GPR fits are now using an updated collection of measurements.
