Etalon, BNS range and optimal SR TX offset

Figure 1, at the beginning of the July we could reach up to 57Mpc by adding an offset in SR TX. More recently this had been less effective, and the maximum BNS range in the past week has rather been 54Mpc. In the mean time there has been at least one step of the Etalon set point, and also following the gap in duty cycle between July 12 and 19, the WI temperature has been higher than set by the etalon set point, and it has gradually decreased. The BNS range has also gradually decrased over that period, it is very hard to say whether one is the cause of the other, or just a coincidence.

I would add that the setting point for SR_TY could have changed, according to the evaluation done by Hrec of the Doble Cavity Pole (see the attached plot). I don't see any evident correlation between this change and the BNS degradation, but an attempt to re-define the setting and put the Hrec_DCP back to the previous value could be done.
