We lost lock this evening (we think) due to a hefty gust of wind at EY. I didn't notice, because the wall FOM on Video 1, which was recently "upgraded" to a DMT viewer showing a several panel ground motion vs. wind vs. tilt correction performance display doesn't update -- and I thought it does. (And I didn't believe that the EY 30 mHz - 100 mHz Y band on the front-wall, nuc5 display could elevate "so high without any signs of wind.")
Because this has been a perennial problem with DMT viewer, and the display turned out to be barely legible on the smaller screen, I've reverted the display to using the StripTool template we used during O2.
The template I used I found to live in
/Users/controls/Desktop/WIND.stp
only on the video1 machine, which was a bit tough to find given the template does not point to any userapps version controlled strip tool, and traceback through the OPS wiki's version of the https://cdswiki.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/wiki/Operations/FiguresOfMerit only revealed the right location in *one* version (and it had the wrong name). But I found it!
Please, in parallel let us
- revert the video1 FOM start up scripts to using this template (and opening up the stick notes to show legible axes labels)
- Add a "until DMT viewer works reliably, use this" section for the start up instructions of the ops wiki for video1
- try to get DMT reliably running, especially through maintenance days which involve restarting of DMT / GDS code.
