Title:  10/07/2016, Day Shift 15:00 – 23:00 (08:00 - 16:00) All times in UTC (PT)
State of H1: IFO is unlocked.  Wind is mostly a Fresh Breeze with gusts up to Near Gale (19 to 38mph). Seismic is slightly elevated but well below the 0.5 line. Microseism is elevated at the corner stations. Unsuccessful locking and the look of the spots indicate an initial alignment is in order.

Shift Summary:  After commissioners finished working on the REFL9 signal chain through an initial alignment. Locking has been very difficult. 
   First – Trouble with the ISS First Loop. There was an oscillation at 1.6KHz, which was flipping the ISS lock on/off. Kiwamu put the ISS into Manual Mode and was toggling the First Loop on/off until the First Loop came on with no oscillations. This has happened before but not very often and not for some time.  
   Second – When going from DC_READOUT to INCREASE_POWER PI Mode18 would start to ring up very quickly. Twice the lock was broken before I could suppress the ring up. On the third lock, Mode18 started to ring up during RESONANCE. This time was able to damp it before breaking lock, but could not suppress the mode. Spoke with PI Help Desk – Conclusion the mode was rung up past the system’s ability to damp it. The fix was to set the gain to zero and wait for the mode to ring down low enough to where the damping can work. Once things had settled down will bring the gain back on and work with phase to further suppress the mode.
