Recent measurements of ASC calibrations

Since the HAM1 vent, I have done a few different measurements of the ASC that provide information on how to calibrate WFS signals from counts to microradians. Here is a summary:

CHARD, INP1 and PRC2 results come from this alog

DHARD results come from this alog

SRM results come from this alog (if you are comparing values, I made a power normalization error in the linked alog)

BS results were taken but never alogged (shame on me)

All of these measurements were taken by notching all ASC loops at 8.125 Hz and injecting an 8.125 Hz line in the desired DoF. The osem wits provide the urad reference.

Unless otherwise specified, the witness channels are the bottom stage osems

DoF Input Matrix Calibration Notes
