Summary:

We tested scheduling the burst injections. The purpose of this test was to test the burst pipeline hardware injection recovery as outlined in the O1 plan.

The initial aLog is here: aLog entry

Waveform:

The waveform parameters are here: https://daqsvn.ligo-la.caltech.edu/svn/injection/hwinj/Details/config/Burst/Waveform/WNB_burst_1134573920_1.info

The waveform file for H1 and L1 are: https://daqsvn.ligo-la.caltech.edu/svn/injection/hwinj/Details/config/Burst/Waveform/WNB_burst_1134573920_1_H1.txt https://daqsvn.ligo-la.caltech.edu/svn/injection/hwinj/Details/config/Burst/Waveform/WNB_burst_1134573920_1_L1.txt

First Test:

The first test was scheduled for 1134577813. The schedule file was given:
1134577813 2 1.0 WNB_burst_1134573920_1_

This injection failed.

It failed because the waveform files ended in .dat instead of .txt. tinj was updated but the documentation for performing hardware injections document was not!

Max and I checked the PINJX_TRANSIENT EXCMON channel to confirm that a signal did not go into the inteferometers.

Second Test:

The second test was scheduled for 1134581196. We renamed the waveform ASCII files and the schedule file was given:
1134581196 2 1.0 WNB_burst_1134573920_1_

This injection was successful.

cWB already picked up the injection. See gracedb link: gracedb entry

Action Items

  * The documentation for burst injections needs to be updated with the correct filename.
