Keith Riles, T.J, Jonathan, Dave:

Late entry for yesterday's and Thursday's work.

external alerts

I wrote a python script to replace the EXTTRIG EPICS channels needed for the system (originally they ran on h1calcs). Jonathan did a lot of work to update the certificate for GraceDB access, and create a virtual environment for the latest code to run on Ubuntu12 (this machine will be upgraded to Debian prior to O3). As before, the code runs under monit control on h1fescript0. I'm unsure if Verbal continues to audibly announce these events.

Hardware Injection

Working with Keith R, we completed the install of the new h1hwinj1 machine (it was upgraded to SL7.5 by installing from scratch). Jonathan created the TCL environment and Keith verified that ps_inject was able to run. (Note to self: we need to test that transient injections are denied if ext_alert is in an event stand-down period.)

Lock_Loss

T.J. got this code ready to run, Jonathan helped with the monit environment settings. This code runs continuously on h1fescript0 under monit control.
