Update arm lock thresholds for LLO (!11) · Merge requests · GDS / DMT-runtime-configuration · GitLab

Derek Davis requested to merge derek.davis/dmt-runtime-configuration:arm_config into main Mar 27, 2023

This MR updates the thresholds for the flags L1:DMT_XARM_LOCK and L1:DMT_YARM_LOCK to be 4000, rather than 7500. The change in transmitted power prompting this change in threshold was first noticed by @robert.bruntz in issue https://git.ligo.org/computing/helpdesk/-/issues/3264#note_656725.

The choice of 4000 was based on a survey of several times when the interferometer was locked. 4000 was found to be sufficient to capture all times when the IFO was locked, e.g., https://ldvw.ligo.caltech.edu/ldvw/view?act=getImg&imgId=346783
