Payload balancing monitoring

This morning I have copied the monitoring code used for checking the longitudinal to angular coupling of PR to the other mirrors in the CITF (BS, SR, NI and WI). And set all flags to be computed only for ITF lock state above 120.

Figure 1. The results is that for SR, NI and WI the marionette actuation doesn't look well balanced. This should be checked by experts if it is indeed the case, or if the thresholds need to be adjusted compared to what was chosen for PR.

Today around 14:15 UTC I have increased the flag threshold for the the Z -> TY MAR coupling for NI, WI and SR by an order of magnitude from 1e-4 to 1e-3. So that the flag is not red most of the time. Based on the fact that without intentional injections we are not able to measure the coupling for those mirrors as precicely as for PR: https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=68109
