I've retuned a Simulines configuration for testing on Tuesday morning. The frequency vector is the same as we nominally use but I reduced all injection amplitudes by 50% across the board. If we're able to run Simulines without losing lock while in the new DARM state in the morning while, I'll need another round with Simulines at some point to determine the best injection strengths moving forward. 


The new injection configs that I tuned were placed in 
/ligo/groups/cal/src/simulines/simulines/FreqAmp_H1_newDARMconfig_20231218/.

I then sourced the cal pydarm environment with 
source /ligo/groups/cal/local/bin/activate and ran the vector optimization script at /ligo/groups/cal/src/simulines/simulines/amplitudeVectorOptimiser.py after adjusting the input and output directories for H1 on lines 33 & 34 (variables changed are inDir and outDir) to:


inDir = 'FreqAmp_H1_newDARMconfig_20231218'
outDir = 'FreqAmp_H1_simuLines_newDARMconfig_20231218'


This placed new "optimized" frequency vector files in /ligo/groups/cal/src/simulines/simulines/FreqAmp_H1_simuLines_newDARMconfig_20231218/. 

Lastly, to actually generate the config file that Simulines processes when it's run, while still in the cal virtual environment, I ran 
python simuLines_configparser.py --ifo H1,

after changing the H1 output filename in simuLines_configparser.py to
outputFilename = outDir+'settings_h1_newDARMconfig_20231218.ini'.

This returned the following output:

(local) louis.dartez@cdsws22: python simuLines_configparser.py --IFO H1
Total time = 1252.0
Average time taken to sweep individual frequency:
26.083333333333332
Separations in TIME for each sweep:
[233.0, 260.0, 253.0, 253.0]
Starting Frequencies for each swept sine:
[5.6, 7.97, 14.44, 64.78, 339.4]
Starting points in relative time for each swept sine:
[0, 233.0, 493.0, 746.0, 999.0]


I then commented out my temporary variable name changes in the simulines scripts.

At the end of the exercise, the simulines file to test in the new DARM loop configuration is /ligo/groups/cal/src/simulines/simulines/settings_h1_newDARMconfig_20231218.ini.

The command to execute simulines using this configuration is 

gpstime;python /ligo/groups/cal/src/simulines/simulines/simuLines.py -i /ligo/groups/cal/src/simulines/simulines/settings_h1_newDARMconfig_20231218.ini;gpstime. This is same as the instructions in the Operator's wiki, with the modification for the new ini file.
