The re-calibrated C01 hoft data generated by DCS is ready for use up to 1129508864 == Oct 22 2015 00:27:27 UTC
1. The re-calibrated C01 hoft data generated by DCS is ready for use up to 1129508864 == Oct 22 2015 00:27:27 UTC.

It is available at CIT and via NDS2, and is being transferred via LDR to the other clusters.

The times the re-calibrated C01 hoft now cover are:

H1: 1125969920 == Sep 11 2015 01:25:03 UTC to 1129508864 == Oct 22 2015 00:27:27 UTC

L1: 1126031360 == Sep 11 2015 18:29:03 UTC to 1128398848 == 1129508864 == Oct 22 2015 00:27:27 UTC

(Note that jobs are running to generate C01 hoft up to Dec 03 2015 11:54:23 UTC, but this data will not be ready until after Dec 9.)

2.  For analysis ini files:

i. The frame-types are H1_HOFT_C01 and L1_HOFT_C01

ii. The STRAIN channels are:

H1:DCS-CALIB_STRAIN_C01 16384
L1:DCS-CALIB_STRAIN_C01 16384

iii. State and DQ information is also in these channels:

H1:DCS-CALIB_STATE_VECTOR_C01 16
H1:ODC-MASTER_CHANNEL_OUT_DQ 16384

L1:DCS-CALIB_STATE_VECTOR_C01 16
L1:DCS-CALIB_STRAIN_C01 16384

The bits in the STATE VECTOR are documented here:

https://wiki.ligo.org/LSC/JRPComm/ObsRun1#Calibrated_Data_Generation_Plans_and_Status

3. For analysis segments and missing data segments use these C01 specific flags:

H1:DCS-ANALYSIS_READY_C01:1
L1:DCS-ANALYSIS_READY_C01:1

H1:DCS-MISSING_H1_HOFT_C01:1
L1:DCS-MISSING_H1_HOFT_C01:1

Summaries of the C01 DQ segments are here:

4. Note that the same filter files are used for all C01 hoft generation:

H1DCS_1128173232.npz
L1DCS_1128173232.npz

However, the C01 Analysis Ready time has been reduced from H1:DMT-ANALYSIS_READY:1 and L1:DMT-ANALYSIS_READY:1 by 3317 seconds and 9386 seconds respectively. This is because these options were used: --factors-averaging-time=128 and --filter-settle-time 148. (This allows study of the calibration factors stored in the C01 hoft frames, even though the calibration factors are not applied in C01.)
