SR3 pointing range

TJ, TVo, Danny

 Yesterday we changed the SR3 pointing a bit to find the Hartmann beam. We found it at about 433.7 µrad  and -100 µrad for SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_P and SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_Y respectively while the original pointing was at 423.7 µrad and 174.4 µrad for SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_P and SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_Y respectively. We decided it would be useful for commissioners if we establish an SR3 pointing range that HWSY and HWSX can operate. We used the X and Y ALS beams on the Hartmann table to establish this range: 

SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_P  (µrad)

SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_Y (µrad)

State of the ALS beam at HWSX State of the ALS beam at  HWSY
399.9 -52.1 Strong Strong
399.9  -452.1 Strong  Fading
399.9 27.9 Fading Strong
-150  -225 Strong  Fading
699.9 -225 Fading 

Strong 

This suggests that both HWSY and HWSX can most likely operate when SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_Y is between 27.9 µrad and -452.1 µrad and SUS_SR3_M1_OPTICALIGN_P is between -150 µrad and 700 µrad. 

It is also important to note that while the SLED is on for HWSX we get a strong back reflection from the viewport (see attached image). This can be avoided with some moving around of the picomotors on the HWSX table.
