More IMC Gaurdian Progress, and Filter Transfer, but not there yet.
[K. Izumi, J. Kissel, J. Rollins]

We had a small victory today: the guardian interpreter (the robust guardian environment Jamie has created for python) is now functional, and we have successfully written a transit and recovery script to go from the ALIGNED to LOCKED state. In other words, we've converted the portions of the "mcup" and "mcdown" scripts (written in perl) which interact with the SUS MC2 into functional guardian transitions. Tomorrow, our goal is to get at least one of the MC suspensions managed by a guardian automaton.  The monitor/automaton is possibly working now, but we'll have to get it working and run it through its paces.

The IFO has been left in the following state (as of ~6:45 PDT):
