Summary of hardware injection tests on 1/11/16
Summary:

We scheduled 10 coherent CBC waveforms to be injected into H1 and L1 during observation mode (alog 24867). All 10 coherent waveforms were successfully performed once.

Waveforms:

The waveforms were generated by Salvo and John V.

The tagged version of the waveform generation tools was not used. The reason for not using the tagged version is that we wanted to inject precessing waveforms but we do not have a time-domain precessing approximant. Therefore Salvo, John had to make some edits to the waveform generation tools to use a frequency-domain approximant.

The waveforms were committed to the SVN.

The parameters files are in: https://daqsvn.ligo-la.caltech.edu/svn/injection/hwinj/Details/Inspiral/

I'll request that Salvo, John include anything they used to generate the waveforms such that their waveforms are reproducible.

Schedule:

All ten injections were scheduled and successfully injected. The following was added to the schedule file:
1136584223 1 1.0 coherentbbh20_1135136337_

This injection was successful.

After this injection completed, we left observation mode briefly so that Jeff could turn off the PUM and UIM PCAL lines (alog 24872).

We then returned to observation mode and the following was added to the schedule:
1136586132 1 1.0 coherentbbh21_1135136336_
1136587232 1 1.0 coherentbbh22_1135136336_
1136588332 1 1.0 coherentbbh23_1135136337_
1136589432 1 1.0 coherentbbh24_1135136337_
1136590532 1 1.0 coherentbbh25_1135136337_
1136591632 1 1.0 coherentbbh26_1135136336_
1136592732 1 1.0 coherentbbh27_1135136336_
1136593832 1 1.0 coherentbbh28_1135136335_
1136594932 1 1.0 coherentbbh29_1135136336_

These injections were all successful.
