Normal Calibration Measurement Suite Spoiled; Taking Calibration Suite w/ SRCL Offset at -306 ct and Filter Cavity Detuning -28 Hz
J. Kissel, S. Dwyer, T. Shaffer

TJ was diligently running at regularly scheduled calibration measurement suite with the current nominal configuration of the IFO. Sheila and I got too excited about what other measurements we needed to do during the commissioning period today, and I quickly and boldly made the assessment that the simulines sweeps were done by just looking at the front wall DARM FOM. And said "we can go ahead with the first [commissioning] measurements" and changed the SRCL offset to grab an augmented IFO configuration sweep as planned. We realized only ~2 mins after that the nominal configuration sweep *was* still going, and this is me eating my hat. Sorry team.

TJ killed the simulines session, which apparently automatically cleans up the calibration sweep measurement report infrastructure, so there's no evidence of it.
So, today's regular calibration has been spoiled.

The broadband injection in the nominal configuration did go forward to completion, that's

The "nominal" configuration -- compared to what we want to change today:
    Filter Cavity Detuning = -34 Hz offset
    SRCL Offset -191 [ct]

Here's the measurements with the augmented IFO configuration, with 
    Filter Cavity Detuning = -28 Hz offset
    SRCL Offset -306 [ct]

Due to the augmented SRCL offset, these measurements should *not* be included in the collection of measurements used for creating estimates of residual sensing function systematic error.
The filter cavity detuning change only impacts the noise performance of the IFO, so if need be, you *can* still use the actuation function portion of the measurement suite.
