DQ Summary for May 3rd 2015

-Four separate locks with stable inspiral ranges between 9 - 12 Mpc. The total lock time for the day was about 8.8 hours.
-The two temporary drops in range are coincident with two of the loudest glitches. Those glitches are at about 1:10:00 and about 9:45:00.
-Three of the four lock losses can be traced to the PSL tripping. The loss of the 3rd lock at about 9:00 is still unknown.
-A line between 10 - 20 Hz (likely due to end test mass bounce modes) is clearly visible in the spectrograms.
-Omicron plots show families of glitches around 10 - 40 Hz (likely related to angular sensing and control), between 100 - 300 Hz (glitches with the highest SNR), at 500 Hz (violin modes with their higher harmonics as well), at ~1600-1700 Hz (possibly due to OMC length dither frequency), at ~1800 Hz (unknown), and finally at ~2100 Hz (also unknown).
-Hveto picked ASC-AS_A_RF45_Q_PIT_OUT_DQ as its winner and vetoed many glitches between 10 - 40 Hz. Three of the other five winning channels were IMC channels and they vetoed many glitches at about ~ 1600-170 Hz.
-STAMP-PEM showed coherence between DARM and LSC-MICH_IN1_DQ from about 44 - 130 Hz during the first 2 hours of the day's locks.  OMC-DPCD_SUM_OUT_DQ also shows coherence at seemingly all frequencies. ISI-BS_ST2_BLND_RX_GS13_CUR_IN1_DQ, and a few other ISI channels, show coherence between the frequencies of about 50 - 160 Hz.  Some of the STAMP results were not trustworthy because it was using Obs Intent instead of DC readout to find data.
-CBC triggers seemed fairly quiet overall but showed some interesting behavior at the beginning of some lock segments. During the first lock of the day there was also evidence of vertical banding (similar to the April 23rd lock).
-Wind speed was relatively low for the day, significantly lower than the previous day. Seismic activity doesn't seem to have caused many issues either.
