TITLE: 06/07 Day Shift: 15:00-23:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Aligning
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Cheryl
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
Wind: 7mph Gusts, 6mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.01 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.15 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
Cheryl had H1 locked at LOWNOISE ASC. She mentioned violin/bounce/roll modes; I'll take a look at those and also read their alogs from last night. On the CDS Overview there is an excitation on H1ASC.
While still at LOWNOISE_ASC, PI Modes started ringing up.
Just making notes of locking this morning, since after the PI Mode lockloss this morning. (it's been a month since I've worked on this machine!) :)
Lock#1
Lock#2: went to DC read out (made it on its own)
Lock#3: went to DC read out (made it on its own)
We confirmed that the problematic peak is at 18040 Hz and that Mode27 has the right BP and PLL Set Freq settings for damping that. I've also (mostly) confirmed that 18040 Hz is still ETMY. I've done this by looking at the frequency drifts over a recent lock, though all locks have been short so there's still some uncertainty.
I've attached a spectrum of the four 18kHz peaks we've had problems with in the past and what Mode they should belong to (I will be able to further verify this with a longer lock/strong temperature change during a lock). Please update BandPasses and PLL set frequencies to match these observed frequencies - this should be checked somewhat regularly for all problematic PI modes (you can use the PI DTT button from the PI medm main screen to generate a current spectrum).
