STATE of H1: Observing at 115Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Jeff
SHIFT SUMMARY: Just got back to observing. I spent around an hour trying to get DRMI to lock. It would catch for a few seconds, with good power, but then it would drop it. The camera flashes didn't look fantastic so I kept trying to adjust SRM and even SR2 , but improving the camera flashes seemed to make the DRMI aquisition worse. I eventually caved and ran just and SRC alignment. I was able to get a locked DRMI quite quickly after this, but it lost lock immediately after the DRMI steps. Reaquiring again took 10min. Then it seemed to have no issues all the way up. CALCS rounding errors are the only SDF diffs.
