SQZ Alignement checked after last weeks SRCL1 offset changes

Sheila, Camilla

We noticed that the high frequency SQZ was worse after the ASC SRCL1 Pit and YAW offset changes last week 86422, plot.

We ran the SQZ_OPO_LR 's SCAN_OPOTEMP, then SCAN_ALIGMENT_FDS (largest change was 8urad in ZM4 Y, plots here), then SCAN_SQZANG_FDS which brought the ADF error signal to zero which is great as means the ADF servo needs no adjustment. Altogether these three states brought the high frequency squeezing back to where it was a week ago, -4.3dB.

The ADF servo is very slow ~45minutes but this is preferred than it running away at the start of the lock.
