With fancy analysis tools approaching usability I looked some more into noise projections from PIT,YAW motion of the MC mirrors to MC length.
Injection channels are: C1:IOO-MC1-PIT_EXC. Actual injection signal is recorded in C1:IOO-MC1-PIT_OUT and similar.
Source channels for the projection are C1:IOO-WFS1_I_PIT_OUT_DQ and similar.
Response channel is C1:OAF-MCL_IN_IN1 or C1:IOO-MC_F_DQ.
MC auto-alignment was off.
1. Fixed sine injection @ 0.5Hz
Every injection lasted 4mins.

2. Filtered white noise injection
Generated white noise from 0.5Hz-20Hz, then filtered that in the C1:IOO-MC1-PIT and similar filters by the following TF, (Notch 1Hz, Q=3, 40dB & 2 zeros @ 1.1Hz)

All injections lasted 4mins. I left the filters in the first filter bank but disabled them.
