  • Note:  OMC didn't lock on first attempt, but Jenne & Jeff are addressing this at the PREP_DC_READOUT step......

Post-Michelson Locking NOTES:

1) Diag_Main gave us an Xarm polarization above 20% message---->  TJ took it down to 17 via remote medm screen

2) Trying TJ's new guardian INIT_ALIGN node 

INIT_ALIGN Guardian notes:

• Currently one might be able to take it all the way to MICH_DARK_ALIGNING, and then tweak the BS, and go MANUAL to SRC_ALIGNING & continue on....
• by going MANUAL to SRC_ALIGNING (& then finish off with INIT_ALIGN_COMPLETE

But for today's attempt, it didn't lock a DARK michelson.  So went through usual exercise of going DOWN---ultimately determined we needed to go DOWN with ALIGN_IFO.  Tweaked BS & then took  INIT_ALIGN to SRC_ALIGN (via MANUAL command), but the SRC was pretty misaligned & so guardian was stuck in a loop.

So old school manual fix for misaligned SRC is (Jenne, JeffK):

• Go to DOWN with ALIGN_IFO
• Misalign SRM
• Look at AS_C centering & center this spot via SR2
• Once AS_C looks centered, go back to SRC_ALIGN with ALIGN_IFO.
