VACSTAT Glitches At 2 Separate Times Overnight

Had two separate VACSTAT glitches overnight (plots attached)

  1. BSC3:  1209utc (409amPT) for about 2-seconds.
  2. EX:  1347utc (547amPT) for just over 1-second.

I'm not sure on how to run a reset (toggling the DISABLED/ENABLED removed red status for BSC3, but it changed to a purple color, so I'm guessing a restart for vacstat_ioc.service will be needed per alog); I sent a text to Dave.

This morning's VACSTAT false alarm was caused by two sensors randomly glitching within 2 hours of each other (Corner station BSC3 and EX BSC9).

Timeline (all times PST):

    04:08 BSC3 PT133_MOD2 has one of its regular glitches, which puts VACSTAT into sensitive mode waiting for a coincident chamber trip.

    05:47 BSC9 PT510B has a random glitch which exceeds the lowered delta-P trip level. Alarms are sent to the vacuum team.

    08:48 VACSTAT restarted to reset

Attached 5 hour trend shows the BSC3 glitch (top row) and the BSC9 glitch (bottom row) 1hr 38min later.

Attached BSC9 7-day trend show it does occassionally have small glitches, but this morning's was larger and just enough to exceed the lowered delta-P trip level.
