Operator Report - Afternoon shift

Upon reaching the site I found the ITF locked in LOW_NOISE_3_SQZ and in Science Mode.
At 14:59 UTC the ITF unlocked due to a PR trip (see attached plot #1), while relocking Gouaty reverted yesterday's actions on B1p_QD1 (See report #63789). We reached LOW_NOISE_3 at 15:42 UTC, but the lock lasted only a few minutes. We reached LOW_NOISE_3_SQZ again at 17:03 UTC and performed Noise Injection activity in collaboration with the outreach group, where 30 people were brought inside and around the Central Building to investigate the ITF behavior. Unfortunately, the ITF unlocked at 17:22 UTC during one of the last tests, again due to a PR Trip (see attached plot #2).
ITF relocked at 18:43 UTC, and the two planned activities, SRCL offset investigation and Hardware Injections, were performed consecutively one after another: for every step performed on SRCL offset, a hardware injection (using the CALI Node modified for this work) was performed. Here is the timetable of the Injections performed: 18:57 UTC, 20:41 UTC, 21:05 UTC, 21:31 UTC.
Activity still in progress. 

Other activities carried out during the shift:
- Continuation of Automation cleanup (see report #63791);
- Start of long etalon 2D scan (see report #63788);

Guard Tour:
18:41 UTC - 19:15 UTC
20:32 UTC - 21:04 UTC
