NL ODH mobile 1 (OMNL13) removed from alarm handler

NL ODH mobile 1 (OMNL13) is in alarm despite being bypassed & disabled. The alarm handler software looks at the value of OMNL13BP to determine whether the ODH head is bypassed or not (and hence whether to propagate the alarm - 0=not bypassed, 1=bypassed). When I caget OMNL13BP I get a null response (neither 1 nor 0). When I attempt to caput OMNL13BP 1, the change again returns a null response.

The upshot of this is that the alarm node associated with this ODH detector is flooding the alarm handler with false alarms, making us blind to any real alarms that come in.

In the interest of preserving the baked beamline downstream of the gun CIS has advised that we leave VBV2I01A closed for the night until they have a chance to consider their next steps.

NO beam over swing/owl tonight

Spoke with CIS on-call regarding gun HV trip and degraded vacuum.
On their instruction, we opened the gun valve to assist pumping the vacuum back down (vacuum is recovering slowly...it was sitting at 1e-5 torr for ~15 minutes).
Plan moving forward is to wait until vacuum recovers (~1e-10 torr), then ramp the gun up at 50 kV/min, watching for signs of field emission (decarads, vacuum, gun current, anode current).
If the ramp-up goes without a problem, we will let the gun soak at 200 kV overnight without beam.
