 Title: controller M1 & M4 (plan mirrors) with IcePap controllers 

this double motors scheme works good.

if motor P4 is used by increasing value, the FP-cavityPZT signal (pink signal on scope) goes HIGHER
if motor P1 is used by increasing value, the FP-cavityPZT signal (pink signal on scope) goes LOWER

!!! CAREFUL !!!
after each session, it is mandatory to put the motors back to their initial position to avoid FP-cavity misalignment.
on P1 : - 900 000 steps
on P4 : - 360 000 steps

previously, we have connected motor M4 with an IcePap controller.
see this post : https://elog.lal.in2p3.fr/FPC/THOMX+commissioning/278

due to the backlash behavior of the FP-cavity motors, it is impossible to work in both directions on one motor when the FP-cavity is locked.
so, we decided to use also the motor M1 to work in the other direction.
then, normally M1 will work in one direction and M4 in the other direction.

motor M1 (or P1Z) which was on the axis 9 on the ISP controller has been assigned to OC/OP/OCH.01-MOT.06

motor M4 (or P4Z) which was on the axis 12 on the ISP controller has been assigned to OC/OP/OCH.01-MOT.03
