TITLE: 05/05 Day Shift: 15:00-23:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Calibration & Commissioning time (as well as some LVEA incursions) today. With one seismic lockloss.
LOG:
- 1510-2001 Crew heading out for Wind Fence work (will stop if weather gets sketchy)
- 1635-1659 Checking to see if additional help needed (travis)
- 1816-1852 Checking out wind fence (mike)
- 1516 Back to OBSERVING (after accepting filter diffs for L1_DAMP with ITMx & ETMy)
- 1519-2001 EY transitioned to Fence Work
- 1550-1602 Optics Lab cleans/checks (kim)
- 1618 Huge glitch seen on the running DARM dtt of nuc30 (all signals went up!)
- 1626 Running pydarm calibration measurement (corey,jeff)
- 1644 Verbal Alarm updated for lower-threshhold PI Mode alerts (ryanS)
- 1805 Pcal lab work (tony,dripta)
- 1806 LOCKLOSS
- 1815-1825 checking for water leaks in lvea (richard)
- 1819-1842 s/n checks (fernando, marc)
- 1819-1858 CER accel on PEM rack (marc, adrian)
- 1828-1834 dark measurements while we have seismic noise (elenna)
- 1830-1856 Turning on Hepta pump at EY (travis)
- 1835-1847 IMC WFS Centering (tj)
- 1953 back to NOMINAL LOW NOISE & taken to NLN_CAL_MEAS for calibration measurements (jeff)
- 2038 OBSERVING
- 2130 Picking up parts around EY wind fence---no operation of heavy machinery (randy,mitch)
- 2137 COMMISSIONING (jennie)
- 2218 Updating filter coefficients for PCal (rick)
- 2239 ISC_LOCK load by elenna
LOCKING NOTES:
- IFO locked before shift.
- 1806 lockloss (5.5hr lock) due to observed seismic motion (possibly 5.9 Japan eq? w/ 20min arrival time)
- For a dead PRMI, BS was moved quite a bit in negative PIT to get it to acquire (PRM pit in both directions didn't work & BS positive pit didn't help)
- Other than that, no other intervention required to get back to Nominal Low Noise (once seismic noise died down).
