Implementation of guardian scripts for OMC initial alignment with RF

For OMC initial alignment with RF, I implemented some guardian states in OMC_LSC and LSC_LOCK, and also I modified some states of the OMC_ASC guardian.

  • OMC_LSC: FIND_RESONANCE_FOR_IAL_WITH_RF, LOW_BANDWIDTH_IAL_WITH_RF, OMC_LSC_LOCKED_FOR_IAL_WITH_RF
  • OMC_ASC: PREP_ADS_WITHOUT_QPD, ENGAGE_OMC_ADS_WITHOUT_QPD, OMC_ADS_ENGAGED_WITHOUT_QPD
  • LSC_LOCK: LOCKING_OMC_FOR_IAL_WITH_RF, RECORD_GOOD_VALUES_OMC

If you want to the initial alignment to OMC after PRFPMI is locked with 10W, you can do it with the following procedure.

  1. Request LSC_LOCK to go to "LOCKING_OMC_FOR_PRFPMI" at once.
  2. Request LSC_LOCK to go to "LOCKING_OMC_FOR_IAL_WITH_RF" while LSC_LOCK stays LOCKING_OMC_FOR_PRFPMI. Then, OMC_LSC try to lock OMC with RF and OMC_ASC goes to "DOWN".
  3. After locking OMC with TEM00 light, check the trans. power (K1:OMC-TRANS_DC_SUM_OUT_DQ). If the power seems to be lower than 12 mW when PRFPMI input power is ~10W and the RMS fluctuation seems to be somehow small (less than ~2mW, empircally), OMC is locked with RF sideband. go to next step. On the other hand, if the power surpasses 12 mW or the fluctuaition seems to be large (> 5 mW, emprically), OMC is locked with carrier light. In that case, request OMC_LSC to go to "DOWN" at once and request OMC_LSC to go to "OMC_LSC_LOCKED_FOR_IAL_WITH_RF" again manually.
  4. Request OMC_ASC to "OMC_ADS_ENGAGED_WITHOUT_QPD". check whether ADS maximizes the trans. power (K1:OMC-TRANS_DC_SUM_OUT_DQ) and the feedback signals (K1:OMC-ASC_DOF{1,2}_{PIT,YAW}_OUT16) settle down.
  5. After the trans.power is maximized and the feedback signals settling down, request LSC_LOCK to go to "RECORD_GOOD_VALUES_OMC". In the state, OMMT2 and OSTM alignments are recorded and offloaded. After that, the OMC lock falls down automatically.

After that, you can request LSC_LOCK to go to the upper states with good alignment to OMC.

I modify the state of OMC_LSC_LOCKED_FOR_IAL_WITH_RF in OMC_LSC guardian so that the cariier TEM00 is automaticall rejected.
Rejection is done by checking the OMC SUM fluctuation and OMC guardian judges that the locked TEM00 is a carrier if OMC SUM is fluctuated more than 1mW within 3 seconds.
I tested several times and confirmed there is no mistake of judging carrier TEM00.

Since RF sidebands can be judged automatically, OMC alignment with RF sidebands can be implemented into the guardian if necessary for OBSERVATION.
