Coherent Hardware Injection for End-to-End Test
I've scheduled a coherent bbh injection for 3:00 UTC as part of the end-to-end test.
The schedule file (schedule_1163473217.txt) was modified and checked into the svn (https://daqsvn.ligo-la.caltech.edu/svn/injection/hwinj/Details/inj_trans/). I logged into each site's hardware injection machine (l1hwinj1 and h1hwinj1) and checked out the updated schedule file (/usr/local/home/hinj/Details/inj_trans). I then reloaded the INJ_TRANS guardian at each site. At LHO EvanG checked that the guardian was ok, he had to change the request to INJECT_SUCCESS (i forgot to check this).
Here is the new line in the schedule file:
1163905217 H1L1 INJECT_CBC_ACTIVE 1 1.0 Inspiral/{ifo}/coherentbbh7_1126259455_{ifo}.out
Each IFO will need to be in observation intent mode for the injection to go through.
End-to-end test:
Hardware injection was successfully performed on H1 and L1 at the same time at around 03:00:07 UTC, analysis pipelines picked it up and we heard multiple audible alarms.
Operator went through site response (L1500117) and acknowledged alarms as they came in. I and fellows got on teamspeak EM channel with EM and detchar representatives.
