TITLE: 01/01 Eve Shift: 00:00-08:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Corrective Maintenance
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ed
SHIFT SUMMARY:
New Catches During Shift:
- SUS_OMC guardian node in STALLED state
- SRCL Trigger for Upper Threshold needed to be lowered from 0.5 to 0.3 for SRC ALIGN
Summary Notes:
- Rough night. Tried to post the main points I came across during the shift, so those alogs are better for specifics.
- Currently Ed is taking the helm and Sheila is going to log on remotely. Ed's seeing quite a bit of wind and we're seeing lots of tumbleweeds rolling by.
- Operator NOTE: I've not been filling out the Intervention Surveys, because this is a unique period (post computer crash & heavy winds).
Sorry, Ed---didn't want to hand off H1 to ya in the new year like this! Hope you have better luck overnight!
LOG:
- 0:00 Hand-off from Cheryl, assessing H1's status, & chatting with Keita,

- 5:21---restored to 5:02 yesterday (or 12/30 at 9:02 pm local). This was via Patrick T's "!RESTORE" button on IFO Align Compact.
- Took PZT offsets to their values from same time, but IMC wouldn't lock. So returned them to where they were taken to after last night's crash & then IMC WFS took over.
