Here's a recap of the the week's progress, contrasted against last week's to-do list; revising it for the next week or two. Arnaud's back to LLO tomorrow, Krishna's in for next week.
Improve The Chamber Noise Performance:
All Chambers Benefit to IFO
- ST 01 L4C Feed Forward (all 6 DOFs), improve 1 to 10 [Hz] performance -- No progress yet
DONE - Sensor correction gain matching (all 3 DOFs), improve 0.08 to 3 [Hz] performance (see LHO aLOG 16208)
- Turned into "Investigate factor-of-2 problem with Corner Station STS B's X Channel" (see LHO aLOG 16237)
- Assess whether switching to differential pressure affects platform noise performance -- suddenly interesting, may impact sub-0.1 [Hz] Yaw (see LHO aLOG 16231)
- Measure HEPI Pump Servo Plant
- Tune Pump Servo PID loop
- Differential Pump Pressure signals are noisy possibly from poor electrical grounding, fix it if still there after loop tuning
BSCs Only
- Z to RZ subtraction, reduce BSC optic's yaw below 0.08 [Hz]
This has turned into "Close RZ loops on Stage 1 and Stage 2 with high frequency blend filters" but seems to have little to no improvement. Continue Assessment.
- Discuss / Assess closing the rest of ST2 isolation loops
- Assess performance of loops with GS13s in low gain vs. high gain (are we ADC noise limited?)
- Implement Slow MICH, reduce MICH velocity, improving lock acquisition -- No progress; waiting for Ryan DeRosa
DONE - Finish ITM HEPI Z to RX/RY Tilt Decoupling, reduce BSC optic's yaw below 0.08 [Hz] (see LHO aLOG 16118)
HAMs Only
DONE - HAMs 2,3,4,5 Isolation Loop Gain Increase improve 0.5 [Hz] to 20 [Hz] performance (see LHO aLOG 16214)
- Continue HAM3 0.6 [Hz] feature investigation improve 0.6 [Hz] performance
No progress on *solving* the problem, but some investigation on finding a better compromise (see LHO aLOG 16196
Improve the Maintainability / Extensibility:
- BSC-ISI Noise Budget Model -- Good Progress; see G1500081
- HAM-ISI Noise Budget Model -- No progress yet; sort of waiting for BSC-ISI budget to be more developed
- HEPI Noise Budget Model -- No progress yet
- Assess guardian vs. watchdog robustness of bringing all chambers to OFFLINE from FULLY_ISOLATED -- No progress
- Put MATCH OUTPUT channels on Sensor Correction overview screen -- No progress
DONE - Storing more than just RZ on HEPI alignment (see LHO aLOG 16207, LHO aLOG 16191)
- Switch ETMX to using differential pressure signal
- Include closing ST1 and ST2 RZ loops into guardian
- Include gain switching on all Guardians
- Get ISI system under SDF system configuration control
DONE - Get HPI system under SDF system configuration control (see LHO aLOG 16217)
DONE - Install DeRosa filters into NXT blend filter banks, such that blend switching may eventually work (see LHO aLOG 16200)
- Figure out how to make blend switching code work with multi-bank filters
Relegated to installation AFTER 2 hour lock:
- Hook IOP SWWD signals up to ISI USER watchdog
- Install HEPI saturable integrators
- Remove HEPI / ST0 L4C Sensor Correction path from ISI models
