IMC locked
- Jenne, Keita, Cheryl
Keita used the PZT scan data to find the real MC2 Trans beam, and center it on the MC2 Trans QPD
after aligning to flash the IMC, changes in MC1 alignment walked the beam on IOT2L REFL far enough that the table needed to be realigned
I realigned the REFL path, which had changed enough that after realigning the REFL PD, WFS, and camera paths, I also had to realign the path to the high power beam dumps
I continued IMC alignment, and used mostly MC3 and MC2, and did need to use MC1 (small changes that maintained REFL beam path)
Jenne locked the IMC - screenshot attached
WFS centering has moved away from (0,0), and the beams are now at around (-0.3, 0.6)
Jenne has the WFS up and running
centering on MC2 Trans is at (0.2, 0.3) and the SUM is currently over 15, and has been as high as 19, at 5.4W input power to the IMC
turning the IMC locking off for the weekend, and will resume on Tuesday
