[Jenne, Sanjit]

It seems now that we are able to get the OAF system to do a pretty good job of approximating the MC_L signal, but we can't get it to actually do any subtracting.  I think that we're not correctly setting the phase delay between the witness and the MC_L channels or something (I'm not sure though why we get a good filter match if the delay is set incorrectly, but we do get a good filter match for very different delay settings: 1, 5, 100, 1000 all seem to do equally well at adjusting the filter to match MC_L). 

The Matt Evans document in elog 395 suggests measuring the phase at the Nyquist frequency, and calculating the appropriate delay from that.  The sticking point with this is that we can't get test points for any channel which starts with C1:ASS.  I've emailed Alex to see what he can do about this.  Elog 1982 has a few words about how we're perhaps using a different awgtpman on the ass machine than we used to, which may be part of the problem. 

The golden plan, which in my head will work perfectly, is as follows: Alex will fix the testpoint problem, then Sanjit and I will be able to measure the phase between our OAF signal and the incoming MC_L signal, we will be able to match them as prescribed in the Matt Evans document, and then suddenly the Adaptive Filtering system will do some actual subtracting!

The plot below shows the Reference MC_L without any OAF system (black), the output of the OAF (green), and the 'reduced' MC_L (red).  As you can see, the green trace is doing a pretty good job of matching the black one, but the red trace isn't getting reduced at all.
