CW hardware injection files updated in preparation for next test
In preparation for the next CW hardware injection test, the /hinj/Details/pulsar/ subdirectories on h1hwinj1
have been updated. Here are the major changes:
  • Two new subdirectories have been created: O2_H1_test1 and O2_L1_test1. Separate H1 and L1 directories are now needed (as was the case in initial LIGO) since explicit inverse actuation files are used.
  • The signal amplitudes in the PulsarXX_StrainAmp.cfg files in these subdirectories have been doubled for pulsars XX = 0, 1, 2, 4, 7 and 9 and tripled for pulsar 14 with respect to the amplitudes used in O1. These increases are meant to allow quicker validation of injection recover fidelity.
  • Evan's new inverse actuation function for L1 has been copied to the O2_L1_test1 subdirectory.
The symbolic link RELEASE in /hinj/Details/pulsar/ has not been changed yet. When we are ready to perform a test, we will change it from its current pointing to O2test to O2_H1_test1.
