It turns out that the MC_TRANS_SUM signal was being derived from the SUS-MC2_OL_SUM_INMON channel in the ioo.db file.
However, this channel name was recently changed to SUS-MC2_OLSUM_INMON (no underscore between OL and SUM) when
I added the new OL_SUM epics channel to the sus_single_control library model (I forgot to mention it in my previous log on this change,
apologies). This is why there appeared to be no signal. This was also what was preventing the mode cleaner from locking, since
the MC_TRANS_SUM signal is used as a trigger in the MC autolocker script.
We modified the ioo.db file at /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1iool0/ioo.db [0,1] to change the name of the channel that the
C1:IOO-MC_TRANS_SUM signal is derived from. The diff on the ioo.db file is:

We then rebooted the c1iool0 machine, and when it came back up the MC_TRANS_SUM channel was showing the correct values.
We then found that the MC autolocker was not running, presumably because it had crashed after the channel rename?
In any event, we logged in to op340m and restarted the autolockerMCmain40m script.
The mode cleaner is now locked.

[1] All of the slow channel stuff is still in the old /cvs/cds/caltech path. This needs to be fixed.
