New ESD bias settings for ITMX (0 V), ITMY (-222 V), and ETMY (200 V) to minimize electronics ground noise coupling

Anamaria, Sheila, Robert

We scanned the biases for three test masses to find the coupling minimum for currents that we injected onto the building ground. The optimal ETMY bias was 115 V in January of 2023, 170 V in Aug. (72308) and 200 V now.  With ITMX at 0V, the optimal for ITMY was 60 V in March of 2023 (68053) and -222 V now, The figure shows some of the bias scans.

On the 2nd, Robert Anamaria and I found settings that would set the biases to these values, but the EY value hasn't been correctly applied in the automated relocks since. (77647

For ETMY, L3_LOCK_BIAS_OFFSET should be -4.9 while the L3_LOCK_BIAS_GAIN is -1 to produce a voltage readback of 200V.    I've reset this in the guardian, which I might have done last week with a typo.

This has now been loaded so shoud be at the correct value from 16:00UTC 07 May 2024 77674 .
