I turned on some filters and gain in the SUS-MC2_MCL filter bank tonight so as suppress the seismic noise influence on MC_F. This may help the MC stay in lock in the daytime.
Koji updated the mcdown and mcup scripts to turn the MCL path on and off and to engage the Boost filters at the right time.
The attached PNG shows the MCL screen with the filters all ON. In this state the crossover frequency is ~45 Hz. MC_F at low frequencies is reduced by more than 10x.
I also think that this may help the X-Arm lock. The number of fringes per second should be 2-3x less. |
