Work Permit Summary for 2017 February 14
Work Permit Date Description alog/status
6486.html 2017-02-14 11:46 Change configuration on CNS II clocks to position hold (from 3D fix). Requires TacPlus software & PC.  
6485.html 2017-02-14 11:23 In addition to adding hardware for the bullseye QPD test to measure beam size changes coming out of the HPO, we need to make some software changes in Beckhoff so that we can use a spare whitening chassis.  34152 34154
6484.html 2017-02-14 10:26 Prototype fix to inability to reset SUS watchdogs on Debian screens by re-writing underlying script in python. Test on a few QUADs.  34125 34137
6483.html 2017-02-13 15:29 Install HFS spare server as h1hfwsmas1 and split the HFS cameras into the two servers h1hfwsmsr and h1hfwsmsr1, We will connect 1 camera from each itm onto each of those servers and restart the code.  34152
6482.html 2017-02-13 13:29 Gil Hibbs from Hibbs Engineering will be onsite Tues. Feb. 14th at 1:30 pm to look at MX or MY to scope out cryopump bake enclosure design in preparation for cryopump decommissioning post O2.  
6481.html 2017-02-13 13:08 Interferometer studies when LLO is down. This will include injections to attempt to distinguish between scattering and clipping at the ITM elliptical baffles, adjusting IMC_WFS offsets, injection to study scattering at ERMY and X, noise measurements immediately after A to L, and diagnostic injections if scattering becomes evident.  
6480.html 2017-02-13 13:00 Update GDS to gds-2.17.13-1 on the DMT. As per, https://bugs.ligo.org/redmine/issues/5110 John Z. says the changes are: The new version (gds-2.17.13-1) contains a bunch of infrastructure tweaks that have been well tested offline. These include: * correct tagging of dataValid when reading data segments that are shorter than the length of a frame * interleaved reading of data from multiple online frame streams, i.e. if there are two online data streams providing input data to a monitor, the data are read from both streams as they arrive rather than reading data from one stream first, followed by data from the second stream. The main reason that I would like to install the package now is that it includes the shared memory partition multiplexer. This will be necessary for implementing the dual broadcaster configuration and I would like to have this package installed and running before switching to a dual-broadcaster configuration, hopefully next Tuesday while I am ad LLO.  34152
6479.html 2017-02-13 12:54 Update gstlal-calibration on the DMT to gstlal-calibration-1.1.4-v1 and restart it. As per, https://bugs.ligo.org/redmine/issues/5115 the changes are: * The NOGATE channels for the calibration factors (kappas) have incorrectly computed values when the kappas are gated. (This does not affect the applied values.) * The kappas are being gated by the observation-ready bit of the ODC state vector, corrupting the data during broadband injections. The calibration team holds that gating with the coherence of the calibration lines is sufficient, and the state vector gating is unnecessary and detrimental. * The pipeline exits on bad dataValid flags, a feature that Greg Mendell would like removed for C01 production. The new version will fill in those time with zeros and mark the data as bad via the h(t)-ok bit of the calib_state_vector. * Removal of all audiorate and lal_reblock elements. These are no longer necessary to clean up the data, since this is all done at the beginning of the pipeline by an element called lal_insertgap. Removal of these redundant elements is expected to reduce CPU usage. * Rearrangement of queues in the pipeline. This is aimed at the eventual goal of reducing the latency of pipeline from ~10 seconds to ~1-2 seconds, but is not currently expected to have any noticeable effect.  34126 34152
6478.html 2017-02-13 11:36 Power on all CDS WAPS (CS, EX, EY) [Wireless Access PointS] to verify sysadmin's get an email and reminders while these are ON.  34152
6477.html 2017-02-13 11:34 Check the IRIG-B channel connected to the PCAL AA-chassis is coming from the IRIGB fanout.  34152
6476.html 2017-02-13 09:53 Troubleshoot read backs for the panels on tabel 6 Install new feed thrus on TCS and HWS tables for interlock monitoring. While on tcs table get some serial numbers from lasers.  34149
6475.html 2017-02-10 16:11 Test remotely powering up the FLIR cameras, capturing an image, powering down camera. Change Beckhoff C1PLC3 SDF to flag an error if the FLIR power is ON.  34106 34152
6474.html 2017-02-10 14:13 set up damping for new PI (alog 34046). Since we are in observe I will try to unmonitor the things that need to be changed, set them up, then monitor those that should be monitored again.  34129
6473.html 2017-02-10 13:10 Make changes to range calculation imported from LLO to avoid large numbers from the inversion and add a matrix to select which bands go into the sum.  34152
6472.html 2017-02-09 16:29 De-energize LLCV electric actuators, remove electric actuator housing domes, lift 4-20mA and 24VDC wires from actuator and remove 1/2" flexible conduit from housings, tighten 1/2 conduit elbows to ensure good contact with their sealing o-rings, reconnect conduit to elbows, re-land wires, re-install housing dome and re-energize actuators 34133 34151
