Violin ITMY Mode 5 is still rising on this lock.
I changed the Gain to 0 and waited 15 minutes to see if it will stop going up or even turn around.
I then tried about 3 minutes with the gain at -0.02 ( Nominal gain just negative) but it was obvious that the no gain is better than opposite gain.
I ended up just turnin goff the gain.

This was a very fast lockloss , it doesn't look like the same IMC /FSS locklosses we have been seening. But the PSL-FSS_FAST_MON_OUT_DQ was still the first signal to change behavior.

Relocking notes:

Relocking has been made very difficult with the IMC constantly unlocking. Most of the Locklosses are in locking Green arms, but everyfew attempts it gets a little further like DRMI, then the IMC stops working again.
I tried turning the ISS off again, but it hasn't stopped it from unlocking the IMC.
I turned back on the ISS so  just in case H1 manager gets to about ISC_LOCK state 500 it will auto lock for him.
