TITLE: 05/28 Owl Shift: 07:00-15:00 UTC (00:00-08:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 131 Mpc
SHIFT SUMMARY:
- Arrived to a locking IFO, again did not have any flashes on DRMI and the AS air camera looked shotty at best so I will be doing an IA
- Post IA, I had to adjust SRM by a few microradians in YAW, similar to what Ryan did the previous morning to improve buildups when engaging DRMI ASC
- Lock #1:
- Acquired NLN @ 8:44 UTC, in OBSERVING @ 8:54
- Odd note: the violin guardian was NOT damping until a few minutes into NLN, when it should nominally turn on in DAMP_VIOLINS_FULL_POWER
- As Tony stated in his alog - ITMX 12 nominal settings are ringing up the mode, but changing the gain to -1 seems to be working (EDIT: gain of -2 seems to work better)
- EX saturation @ 12:02
Passing the IFO to Ryan locked (~6 hours) and in Observing.
