PM1 (HAM1) faulty Coil Driver replaced

Dave, Oli, Marc, Fil, Rahul

This morning I switched PM1 (Tip Tilt suspension) in HAM1 chamber from safe state to damped state and immediately the DAC output was saturating. I suspected purge air (which Travis turned it down twice during the day) and later Masayuki also covered PM1 with foil. However, nothing stopped the suspension from saturating.

Then Oli, Dave and I did a model restart and later I power cycled the Satamps for PM1 in the LVEA - nothing helped.

Next, Marc, Fil and I went to the LVEA (checked the satsamp, which was fine) and CER and found the Coil Drivers to be faulty.

New Coil driver - E2400048 s/n 22001180

Old Coil Driver - E2100430 s/n S1106046

SUS PM1 is now not saturating. I will perform the heath checks later on.
