In case you need to retune the filter used for subtracting the HPO jitter (DBB QPD) from DARM, here are the steps
-
take some data with the feed forward off (set H1:LSC-JITTERFF_GAIN to 0, the jitter feed forward MEDM screen can be accessed from the LSC menu in the sitemap)
-
use the script attached below to fit the transfer function. Some notes
-
set the GPS time and duration at the beginning. Typically 10 minutes of data are enough.
-
the script will shows the measured coherence between DBB Q1Y and DARM, and the measured transfer function. Typically points with coherence above 0.05 are good for the fit
-
you might have to tweak the frequency range and the coherence threshold for the fit, in order to get a good result
-
sometimes the fit algorithm add a pole/zero pair with very high Q close to the edges of the fit range. Normally they are fake and you can remove them
-
the script will output the list of poles and zeros, upload them to the LSC-JITTERFF filter bank. Note that there is a gain of 8e14 in the DBB_FF_QPD1Y filter bank. This is added such that the typical gain H1:LSC-JITTERFF_GAIN is close to 1.
Notes:
-
the transfer function should be compensated for the DARM closed loop response. For the moment being I haven't done it, since the subtraction matters only above ~100 Hz and there the DARM loop does not have a significant effect, at least not at the level of accuracy needed for the subtraction as done so far.
-
the filter which is loaded now (named 16_10_13) was measured after the IFO was locked for few hours. It might be enough to retune a bit the gain to achieve reasonable performances
