TITLE: 12/22 Day Shift: 16:00-00:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 119Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ed
SHIFT SUMMARY:
H1's been locked for 48.5+hrs.
Odd shift with a couple of mysteries: (1) SEI_CONF transitioned to EARTHQUAKE, and (2) Dropped from OBSERVING for unknown reason.
Had wind up around 12-14mph for good part of shift, but it loooks like it could be calming down.
LOG:
- 16:45-17:00 TCS Chiller check. (Corey)
- 17:08 Incoming EQ alarm (5.3 near Fiji/Samoa) w/ R-wave arrival ETA of 17:30utc (Seismon rates this as small & barely in the "earthquake" regime, but will monitor).
- 17:17 Transitioned to EARTHQUAKE (by whom?) (alog)
- 18:09 Transitioned back to WINDY (by me)
- 18:54 VAC alarm for the EX solar-powered ion pump and it cleared at same time, too (probably related to known solar charging status).
- 19:05 GRB Short alert received, notified LLO/Virgo, confirmed it's real, went to put INJ_TRANS into INJECT KILL, but it was already there (will stand down until ~19:21 & go back to INJECT SUCCESS.
- 19:34 Spare PSL chiller check for Jeff B (he was my phone buddy when I did check).
- 21:31 Intent Bit went to COMMISSIONING mysteriously & the "Not Ready" state. (alog)
