TITLE: 07/17 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Aligning
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Corey
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:

    Primary useism: 0.06 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.09 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:

Spent some time with hand-off from Corey and de-briefing from last nights adventures in smoke.

The lock was stalled at FIND_IR as it was yesterday when I came in. In both instances, the StripTool trace H1:LSC-TR_X_NORM_INMON was offset and riding up on the RED trace for MC2. I "zeroed" this value and then re-started the lock sequence which resulted in success past FIND_IR. Jenne also verified that this was inhibiting this step of the lock.

To perform this offset reset go to -> SITEMAP>LSC>OVERVIEW>TR COMM>TR_X(Y)_QPD_B_SUM and reduce the number next to the offset button (to the left) to whatever value will reduce the output (TR_X(Y)_QPD_B_SUM_OUTPUT) to zero. (0.06 or less should be sufficient).

When the offset was noticeable on StripTool, this output value was reading ~ 0.156 which is marginally high but apparently enough to inhibit FIND_IR.
