Terra, Travis, Kiwamu,
Here are some unexpected issues that we addressed tonight.
-
AS36 -> SRM
-
As mentioned earlier (30295), we had stability issue with the AS36 -> SRM loop in the DRMI state with the arms held off resonance.
-
One immediate human error we found was an integrator not engaged in DC3 pitch loop.
-
However, engaging the integrator in DC3P did not improve the behavir of the loop running away.
-
In the end, we changed the input matrix. AS36BI: +2 --> +1.
-
This solved the issue. Not sure why we had to change the input matrix.
-
AS WFS DC and fast shutter
-
At one point, we ran into a situation where ISC_LOCK did not proceed because the shutter guardian reported a failure in a shutter test.
-
This was found to be a failure report from the dark test in which the light level on AS WFSs A and B were checked with the shutter closed.
-
In the end, we found that the AS WFS DC signals now had a slower low pass filter (a 2nd order butterworth at 1 Hz in FM1), which was too slow to give a low enough light level. This used to be a 2nd order butterworth at 5 Hz yesterday.
-
We re-installed the 5 Hz BLP in FM2 and edited the FAST_SHUTTER and ISC_LOCK guardians so that it uses FM2 when in test.
-
It worked once.
-
AS90 jumped multiple times
-
We witnessed a funny behavior of AS90 a few times tonight.
-
It suddenly changes its level by a few % or so when DRMI was in lock with the arms helf off resonance.
-
Times to look at are around 2:13:19 UTC and 3:30:00 UTC.
-
DRMI did not lose lock.
The ASC DC SUM channels have been split into to SUM and NSUM. The SUM channel has a steep low pass, so it can be used to normalize PIT and YAW. NSUM is the new fast channel. See alog 30214.
Thanks, Daniel. I have just edited the FAST_SHUTTER guardian so that it looks at AS_A(B)_DC_*NSUM_OUTPUT* instead of *SUM_OUTPUT*. Also, I found my original statement in the above entry a bit wrong. AS_A(B)_DC_SUM did not have a low pass at all before Oct.5th as Jenne reported in 30214.
The FAST_SHUTTER is now at rev14405.
