TITLE: 10/3 DAY Shift: 15:00-23:00UTC (00:00-8:00PDT), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Guardian in DOWN state
Outgoing Operator: Empty Control Room (Jim was in for part of the OWL shift, but the shift was pseudo-called-off due to H1 issues)
Support: None
Quick Summary: The GWI.stat page says H1 has been in the "NOT OK" state for the last 19+hrs. Will catch up on alog, see if there's anything I can do, and wait for assistance/input.
A Little More:
Mike Called, and then I chatted with Daniel & then Sheila called. More items worth noting:
Seismic: Winds are below 10mph. useism (0.1-0.3Hz) has perhaps drifted a little down in the last 12 hrs. The signal is still in the high-ish range and is mostly in the middle of the dashed lines (90th & 50th percentile states). So we still have useism which is higher than normal & according to Sheila we've not locked much with useism this high (NOT to say this is the reason for locking issues, but just something to NOTE).
Laundry List: (Daniel plans to be in around 10am. He listed a few items which he'd like to us to pursue. Sheila mentioned issues she noticed last night (i.e. BS oplev glitching and ALS glitching). She said they are bad, but probably not the reason for the Locking issues with H1.
Observatory Mode: This has been in the "Lock Acquisition" state all night, but we were in the DOWN state. I would not know what we would call last night. A "Broken" state would be nice. Using "Other", "Unavoidable", or "Unknown" are the only other states which I would use to describe our current state, but they don't offer any information & are too similar to each other.
OK, onto an alignment!
