The oplevs have been installed on ITMX and ETMX.
Now the oplev servos are running.
The lock of the green beam became more stable after the oplevs were activated.
(what I did)
- opened the ITMX and ETMX chamber.
- rearranged the oplev mirrors in the vacuum chambers so that we can have the reflected oplev beam coming out from the viewport.
At the ITMX table, I put the oplev mirrors approximately on the designed places.
- aligned the beam on the optical benches
- strung a ribbon cable at the 1X9 rack.
This cable connects the oplev interface board and the ADC blue golden board.
- modified c1scx simulink model.
Since the model didn't have proper connections to the ADC channels, I added four ADC channels and plugged them into oplev servo in the model.
- relaunched the c1scx code after building and installing it.
- activated the oplev servos. Amazingly the default gains did work (i.e. all the gain = 1)
- after aligning X arm to the green beam, I did final centering of oplev beams

ADC0_24 = segment_1
ADC0_25 = segment_2
ADC0_26 = segment_3
ADC0_27 = segment_4
