Ops Day Summary
TITLE: 11/13 Day Shift: 16:00-00:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Noise tunings
INCOMING OPERATOR: Nutsinee
SHIFT SUMMARY: Had to restart OAF twice. Had to damp PI modes 3, 27 and 28. Two tours came through the control room. Had some possible misunderstanding about the BRS. At end Y it went into damping and so Sheila and I moved the configuration there to BLEND_Quite_250_SC_useism. I later talked with Jim on the phone and he said it should be fine to use the BRS while it is damping as long as the velocity is not on the order of 5000 counts or so. We are currently stopped at noise tunings at Sheila's request. 
LOG:

Inheriting IFO in observing at NLN (30W). ISI config is at WINDY.

16:35 UTC Diag reset of H1SUSITMPI
16:36 UTC Diag reset of H1OMC
16:37 UTC Diag reset of H1IOPOAF0
16:40 UTC OAF glitch. Restarting with script. Automatically taken out of observing.
16:48 UTC OAF back. Ran 'Press All Diag Reset Buttons' and 'DAQ Clear Accumulated CRC'.
16:50 UTC Clicked on observing. Could not go to observing because TCS_ITMY_CO2 node is at FIND_LOCK_POINT instead of LASER_UP.
16:52 - 17:07 UTC Stepped out. Came back and mode 3 was slowly ringing up. Changed sign of gain.
17:13 UTC Set gains of all PI modes except 3, 26, 27 and 28 to 0 per Terra's alog request.
17:20 UTC Set to observing.
18:32 UTC Earthquake plots on top monitor of nuc5 just disappeared. Bottom seismic plots and RF spectra are still updating.
18:43 UTC Restarted earthquake plots. Strangely I could not do this from vncviewer. Typing in the terminal produced capitals. Setting caps lock on produced lower case, however with or without caps lock on the slashes in the directory path I entered turned into question marks. Used the keyboard and mouse already attached and ran 'dmtviewer /home/controls/Seismic_FOM_STS.xml' in the existing terminal as per the wiki instructions.
20:16 - 20:22 UTC Stepped out. Came back and ITMX, ITMY, ETMX and ETMY were saturating. Started saturating at 20:21:55 and stopped at 20:22:10. Bit of a spike in the 0.03 - 0.1 Hz seismic trace at end Y.
20:47 UTC Another burst of saturations.
20:49 UTC OAF glitch. Taken out of observing by TCS node. Restarted OAF using script. Ran 'Press All Diag Reset Buttons' and 'DAQ Clear Accumulated CRC'.
21:06 UTC Went to set to observing mode and noticed that the BRS at end Y is in the damping state. Trending back it has been damping since 20:43:18 UTC. Since this does not seem to prevent me from hitting the observing bit, I am. Well, I was. Just dropped back to commissioning by TCS ITMY CO2 node.
21:18 UTC More glitches.
21:22 UTC Damped mode 3. Changed end Y ISI to BLEND_Quite_250_SC_useism
21:50 UTC Lock loss
21:54 UTC Set ISI at end Y back to BRS. It did not want to go back, 'waiting for BRS to settle'. Eventually enough different guardian clicks seemed to work.
22:25 UTC PRMI to DRMI transition succeeded
22:49 UTC Stopping at Noise Tunings. Sheila dithering PR3 to measure WFS response.
23:07 UTC Damped mode 27 by changing phase
23:09 UTC Damped mode 28 by changing phase
23:12 UTC Redamped mode 27
23:13 UTC Sheila switching PRC2 Pitch. Lock loss. SUS and ISI tripped at end Y.
23:43 UTC PRMI to DRMI transition succeeded
00:02 UTC Stopping at Noise Tunings again
