Transition To EVE Shift Update

TITLE:  12/16 EVE Shift:  00:00-08:00UTC (16:00-00:00PDT), all times posted in UTC     

STATE of H1:   NLN just under 80Mpc

Outgoing Operator:  Jim

Quick Summary:

Walked in to find film crew in the middle of an interview, so held off entering the Control Room for a while, but Jim had H1 with still running from the lock I started from last night.  Once I was able to squeeze into the Control Room, after a while, H1 had a lockloss, and commissioners noted that that this was probably due to an "EPICS Freeze".  As far as I know, an "EPICS Freeze" symptom is that all the StripTool traces flatline & thus we appear to lose the ability to control H1 and thus have a lockloss.  For this one, the flatline happened on the order of 80sec and then we had the lockloss.  NOTE:  yesterday people mentioned "EPICS Freezes" last night, but they were shorter and we stayed locked.

Filming continues!  :)
