I turned the CO2s back on today and CO2X came back to its usual 53W, but CO2Y came back at 24W. We've seen in the past that it will jump up a handful of watts overnight after a break, so maybe we will see something similar here. If not, we will have to investigate this loss. Trending the output of this laser, it has definitely been dropping in the last year, but we should be higher than 24W.
Sure enough, the power increased overnight and we are back to 34W. This is still low, but in line with the power loss that we've been seeing. Camilla is looking into the spare situation and we might swap it in the future.
We searched for home on both CO2 lasers, took them back to minium power and then asked CO2_PWR guardian to NOM_ANNULAR_POWER. This gave 1.73W on CO2X and CO2Y to 1.71W (1.4W before bootstrapping).

), so we should change to this method next time.
