OPS Saturday DAY shift update, Observing recovered

RyanC, Jenne, RyanS

The ground and wind finally let us lock which let me get to and fix the following small software issue to recover Observing.

16:26 UTC I removed an errant 'H1:' (good eye RyanS) in a ezca call in LOWNOISE_ESD_ETMX, and commented out the newest lines Jenne added at her suggestion and reloaded ISC_LOCK. Here are some the quads L3 lock filters right after LOWNOISE_ESD_ETMY finishes. I was then able to get back up to NLN after spending ~10 minutes in OMC_WHITENING 

From LOWNOISE_ESD_ETMX's main method I commented out:

# if ezca['SUS-ETMY_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L_GAIN'] != 1:
# ezca.get_LIGOFilter('SUS-ETMY_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L').only_on('INPUT','OUTPUT','DECIMATION')
# ezca['SUS-ETMY_L3_DRIVEALIGN_L2L_GAIN'] = 1
# ezca['H1:SUS-ETMY_L3_LOCK_OUTSW_L'] = 0  (Deleted H1:, the real issue here)
 
I then ran through ESD_ETMX and up to NLN without any issues. To get into Observing I started ISC_LOCK in a interactive env using "guardian -i ISC_LOCK" and I first zeroed the gains on the FFs filters that had gain.
In [1]: ezca.get_LIGOFilter('LSC-MICHFF').ramp_gain(0,  ramp_time=3, wait=False)
H1:LSC-MICHFF_GAIN => 0
In [2]: ezca.get_LIGOFilter('LSC-SRCLFF1').ramp_gain(0, ramp_time=3, wait=False)
H1:LSC-SRCLFF1_GAIN => 0
In [4]: ezca.get_LIGOFilter('LSC-PRCLFF').ramp_gain(0,  ramp_time=3, wait=False)
H1:LSC-PRCLFF_GAIN => 0

I then ran the commented out lines, excluding the if line waited a little bit then returned the FF gains to 1. There was a SQZ SDF diff I accepted.

I've uncommented out this block with the fixed typo but I forgot to reload ISC_LOCK, the typo fix has been svned.

17:24 UTC Observing
