 Title: Laser and FP cavities frequency adjustment 

at the beginning of the procedure, the frequency gap between the new Ring 33MHz frequency (33.3378MHz) and the laser/FP cavities frequency was 12.33kHz
=> the Smaract motor position was at +100µm
=> the FP cavity motor Mot.03 position was at -358 720 steps
the PDin photodiode was at 3.151mW @ 33% amplifier ratio
the PDpulse photodiode was at 33.384MHz

after several moves (each time, one corrects the CEP / alignment to keep ~ 47kW inside the FP-cavity)
we can move the laser cavity at 300nm/s without any laser modelock loss
we move the FP cavity at the same speed (300nm/s = 50 steps/s with 1step  = 6nm)

now, we did roughly half of the travel : dF @ 33MHz = 5.3kHz
=> the Smaract motor position was at +1075µm
=> the FP cavity motor Mot.03 position was at -200 000 steps
the PDin photodiode was at 3.178mW @ 33% amplifier ratio
the PDpulse photodiode was at 33.377MHz
