PSL Caused Lockloss during last part of Simulines Calibration.

 

IMC and ASC lost lock within 5ms of one another. (plot attached).

Looking at more channels around this lockloss, I'm not entirely sure if the FSS was at fault in this case. In a longer-term trend (starting 6 sec before lockloss, see screenshot), there were a handful of glitches in the FSS_FAST_MON channel, but no significant corresponding NPRO temp or output power changes at those times and the EOM drive had not reached high levels like we've seen in the past when this has caused locklosses. Zooming in (see other screenshot), it seems that the first of these channels to change is the FSS_FAST_MON, but instead of a glitch, it looks to actually be moving. Soon after, there's a drop in AS_A_DC_NSUM, I believe indicating the IFO was losing lock, then 5 ms later the IMC starts to lose lock. I suppose we're at the mercy of data sampling rates here, but this may add some more context to these kinds of locklosses.
