Make sure laser flipping is on
From Hall A Wiki
The script that cycles the Compton laser lock on and off should be run from the vncserver on compton-old (compton-old:005). I typically run it in a terminal from the bottom left workspace.
The script is located in:
/home/compton/gaskelld/cavity_script
And should be run as follows:
cavity_C_gaskell flip <bcm_threshold> <time_off> <time_on> <power_threshold>
Flags: [1] "flip" means cycle the laser on and off. [2] bcm_threshold: minimum beam current for script to execute [3] time_off: time for laser off period in seconds [4] time_on: time for laser on in seconds [5] power_threshold: cavity power threshold above which the time_on counter begins
I typically run the script as follows:
cavity_C_gaskell flip -1 30 90 100
