TITLE: 02/16 Day Shift: 16:00-00:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Aligning
INCOMING OPERATOR: Niko
SHIFT SUMMARY: Been unlocked for nearly 4 hours, struggling with wind. Handing off to Niko after initial alignment.
LOG:
- 20:16 Lockloss (see alog 55117)
- Had a lot of locklosses during this acquisition with winds up to 45mph and a small EQ form Alaska.
- Had 2 MC2 saturations just before locklosses.
- 22:52 Started initial alignment
- 23:11 Robert to EY to mark wind meter locations
- 23:11 IMC unlocked and FSS oscillating (during initial alignment) (during ALIGN_IFO state DOWN, INIT_ALIGN state PRC_ALIGNING). This is the forth time I have seen FSS oscillating during initial alignment, twice it seems to be when ALIGN_IFO is in DOWN state, but twice the alog 54801 alog 54597 alog 54583 tagging PSL
- waited 5 minutes, it didn't lock, so toggled the autolocker
- 23:40 Stuck in MICH_BRIGHT_ALIGNING for over 10 minutes so I tweaked the BS while watching H1:ASC-AS_A_DC_NSUM_OUT16 until ALIGN_IFO took over.
- 23:53 Initial alignment complete
