Sheila, TJ
In times of heavy commissioning or troubleshooting, we want full control of the IFO and don't want to fight the automation. Sheila suggested that we add a manual_control boolean to lscparams.py that ISC_LOCK will look at to decide whether it will automatically run states like Check_Mich_Fringes, PRMI, Increase_Flashes, etc. When this is set to True, it will avoid these automated state either through a conditional in a state's logic, or by weighting edges to force ISC_LOCK to avoid particular states.
For now we are setting manual_control = True while we troubleshoot the IFO. We will need to remember to return it when we want fully automatic operation again.
