Often when I come to manually lock the mode cleaner due to a long unlocked period, I find that the sliders are not in the state specified by the mcdown script. Furthermore, it's not the same channels every time; sometimes the servo gain is left high, sometimes the boosts are left on. I fear that some of the caput commands are failing to execute. Ugh.

This continues to happen. I believe the network latency boogeyman is to blame.
There was a long unlocked period because the enable switch for the MC servo fast path (FASTSW) was left off. Running the mcdown script fixed this, but included the error message:
Channel connect timed out: 'C1:IOO-MC_REFL_GAIN' not found.
CA Client Library: Ignored duplicate create channel response from CA server?
which means the IN1 gain didn't get touched. A second pass of the script produced no errors.
I'm thinking of adding some logic that if the autolocker has failed to lock for some period (5 minutes?), it should rerun mcdown. |
