Subject: TWO arms TWO colors 

- I took the shutter from AS table to use it for the PSL green. It was sitting near MC REFL path unused (elog #8259).

- If X green lock is not tight, maybe temporarily increasing loop gain helps. This can be done by increasing the amplitude of the frequency modulation or increasing green refl PD gain. Also, if X green beam spot is too wiggly compared with Y green, it is maybe because of air flow from the air conditioner (elog #6849). I temporarily turned it off when I did X green steering last summer.

- X green transmission on PSL table reached ~270 uW last summer (elog #6849, elog #6914). Y green transmission is now ~240 uW and ~2700 counts at maximum. So, X green transmission should reach ~3000 in counts.

- Did you have to re-align TRX path? We moved the harmonic separator on X end table horizontally to avoid IR TRX clipping before beam centering on X arm (elog #8162). I wonder what is the current situation after the beam centering.
