Operator Report - Night Shift 11 May 2019

ITF found in Science Mode. It unlocked at 22:39 UTC, possibly due to the bad weather. After a single unlock at LOW_NOISE_1, the ITF was back in Science Mode at 23:21 UTC.
At 0:22 UTC, for around 30 seconds, the Horizon abruptly dropped at 0. From the DMS it was possible to see some flags related to SNEB ( SBE and LC ) became red during this period ( see attached plot ).
ITF unlocked again at 1:55 UTC, unfortunately it started unlocking systematically at LOW_NOISE_3. I contacted the ISC onCall ( M. Mantovani ) that suggested to temporary disable the BS AA. After performing this action it was possible to reach again LOW_NOISE_3_SQZ. Science Mode from 3:39 UTC.

Downtime event - ISC
Switched to Troubleshooting Mode from 3:17 UTC to 3:39 UTC due to systematic unlocks reaching LOW_NOISE_3. Under request of the ISC OnCall I disabled the BS AA.
Action performed:
on ITF_LOCK.py on line 3784 and 3785:
BS.AATX_FLAG = 2.0 -> value changed to 1.0;
