Restored sliders on IMC SUS to December 3rd state

Jennie W, Jason O, Sheila D, Masayuki N,

 

Following Jim bringing HAM3 HEPI online (alog #88909) and isolating HAM3 ISI.

Jason and I restored the MC1, 2 and 3 sliders to their position on December 3rd during a lock when the mode-cleaner was locked with 2W input, HAM2 and 3 ISO Gain was , HAM2 and 3 ISI Guardian was set to 'isolated' and 2 and 3 HEPI guardian was set to 'RoBUST ISOLATED'.

This lock state for the IMC Guardian is 100. 

 

Before any adjustments today, we had 45 dB whitening gain on MC2 trans, and 91% of the power was in the 00 mode. This gave us 46 counts on MC2 trans nsum.

After HEPI, ISI, and suspensions are restored, we have mostly 10 mode, with 17.9 counts on MC2 trans sum, still 45 dB whitening gain.

I lowered the whitening gain to 30 dB to restore us to the normal whitening gain.

If we restore the alignment so that 90% of the power is in the 00 mode again, we should have 8.2 counts MC2 trans nsum
