I tried to figure out why red NO SYNC label became present in the C1OAF_GDS_TP screen after I added AA filters to the C1OAF model.

C1OAF model contains 8 libraries C1OAF_ADAPT for 8 DOF. I changed C1OAF_ADAPT library to C1OAF_ADAPT_AA library where I added 28 AA filters for 28 witness channels. It turns out that if I use this library for all 8 DOF then I see NO SYNC label, if only for one DOF (MCL) then I see green IOP label. This means that using AA filters for each DOF too much channels of filters are created for online system to operate. I think there is some number inside the code that one can not exceed. Analyzing compilation output after "make c1oaf" I figured out that without using AA filters we have 632 filters and using AA we have 856 filters.

For now I'll use AA filters for MCL only.

 I have a feeling we are not fitting into pre-allocated memory space in the shared memory between the front-end process and the epics process. Filter module data is overwriting some other data and that's why we are not getting a sync light. I suggest we upgrade to 2.4 code first and then we will figure out a way to expand memory areas to fit 856 filters.
