[Corey, TJ, Betsy, Koji]
RESOLVED ISSUES:
- The issue of the suspension TF was resolved by adjusting one of the OMC EQ stop holders [LHO ALOG 28900]
- The sign-flip issue of the DCPD signals has been explained by the accoustic noise of the OMC [LHO ALOG 28901]
PROGRESS:
- The lock nuts of the upper mass EQ stops were fastened (by fingers)
- The black glass panels of the OMC shroud were restored. We checked the input/reflection apertures to be well aligned against the beams.
- The OMCT steering mirror was restored to the optical mount.
- The alignment of the WFS path was reviewed. It was found that the path is still well aligned. Just the WFS QPDs were manually aligned by the mounts with picomotors.
- We attached the viewport simulator on the flange to check the alignment of the in-air paths. The AS AIR path was very well centered on the viewport without touching. The OMCR path is about 50% towards East (-Y) from the center of the viewport. We could not find the OMCT spot no matter how we flash the OMC. This could be just the beam was too dim, or was blocked by the shroud. We'll investigate this on Monday again.
TO DO:
- Continue to work on the OMCT path alignment. This requires ~10W IMC input. Try to find a dim flashes. Use a CCD camera on a tripod to find the spot around the viewport cover.
- We want to check the calibration between AS_C QPD SUM, the incident power on OM1, and the incident power on the OMC breadboard.
- Other ISC items function check (picos, beam diverters, fast shutter - see Rich's comment below, etc)
- Ground loop check
- Other SUS/SEI exit check
