to 500.0913MHz => it reduced by 9kHz @
500MHz which is equivalent to 600Hz @ 33MHz
  
  383   Tue Nov 26 18:00:14 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionat the begining of the day, we started
to get ~81kW in the FPC for 33% amplifier
ratio and after ~1h, we got 84kW after CEP

run with ~80kW in the FPC to check if the
lock problems are coming from the interaction

we removed the threshold on the
FPC/RF error signal.
  
  387   Wed Dec 11 18:51:35 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionThis morning, I added an amplifier on the
33MHz beating signal in between the mixer+LPF
and the scope/Laselock.

the Christmas shutdown.
everything went fine.

if one can find some correlation between
the CFP lock losses observed during a run
