HAM1 HEPI trip

[Ibrahim, Jenne]

Not sure yet why, but HAM1 HEPI tripped while we were on Find IR.  I plotted the actuator trip from the watchdog screen, and maybe there were some glitches several seconds before the trip.  I'm not sure if that's meaningful, and perhaps it's just Robert walking gently around the input arm, but perhaps this is related to......something?  Attached is the plot from the watchdog screen.

Also, Robert just came back to the control room to report that while he was out there, the HAM1 HEPI started 'singing' again.  He noted that the damping had been removed, since apparently we thought it had been fixed, but now perhaps it seems that it's intermittent.  Robert crawled under HAM1 and put the damping material back in place, so it's possible that that's the cause of these small glitches and the trip.
