When the cavities relock themselves, our Trans DC values change drastically.
I just noticed this when the North cavity lost lock while I was messing around with some optics. The autolockers worked their magic, but upon relocking the NCAV_TRANS_DC value went from ~3 V to ~4 V. It's been as low as 0.9 Volts as well, that's why I changed the thresholds for awade's NCAV autolocker .ini file.
What the heck? We know they are locking to the same fringe, at least for the Fabry-Perot cavity. The PMC is locked to a different fringe though, maybe this increased it's power output? But that wouldn't explain the South path jumps.
Unclear why this would happen.
