SHIFT SUMMARY:
LHO's IFO H1 has been locked for 14+ hours.
I did drop us from Observing at 5:46 to change a Violin damping setting that was being turned off by the Violin Damping Guardian.
Took the Violin Guardian to Damping on simple. Set the Damping that I wanted for ITMX Mode2: gain to -15, then selected Damping Violins full Power.
Got back to Observing at 5:47 UTC.
This setting seems to work wonderfully! IXm2 is dropping like a rock & the DCPD's are converging nicely.
Wind forcast looks great for the night.
