Updates detector setup and relock blocks according to #260.

Should we remove run.smurf.take_noise(concurrent=True, tag='res_check') for SATp3 if we are thinking we no longer use this?

That's in the relock block not detector setup for SATp3 so isn't that still used or was that what Katie meant in #260, to remove it from both relock and det setup?

Just remembered, I'll need to update the estimated durations too.

I thought this is what Kaite meant in #260.
But it would be good to confirm it with @kmharrington and @samdayweiss.

I believe this is what Katie meant @mmccrackan. I'm okay with removing it from the relock block because relock automatically takes noise for 30 seconds, so we'll have a super conducting noise to reference and track over time. I don't think there is a take_noise in the regular det setup. @kmharrington @msilvafe I think it would be good to add functionality to track the white noise levels from the relock-- do we think we could get someone to add this functionality without much difficulty?

On the R&D call we discussed that we should now have both fixed tones in the data streams and bare resonator channels on the wafers. So we should still have plenty of in-situ tracking capabilities for readout noise levels. We do need trackers built for these sorts of things. We need trackers for a lot of things....

And yes @mmccrackan this is what I was meaning

Oh I see, so there are bare resonators already on each wafer? And the idea is to have those taking data concurrently with the TESes as well?

The bare resonators and fixed tones don't actually track the flux ramp so they're not a very good tracer of the readout noise. The dark squid is a better tracer of the readout noise, its a channel with a squid that's flux ramped but doesn't have any TES attached. That gets tracked through the metadata as SQID I believe perhaps we just need to figure out how to tag that properly in the data quality metrics stuff so that we can monitor that in grafana.
