Section: H1
Task: General
H1 Manager called on me to help with a bunch of SDF diffs.
- Some ASC POP A offsets, which were accepted in safe earlier today (85490), so I went ahead and accepted them for Observe as well
- IMC PZT offset changes, which were made earlier when working on realigning the IMC (85476)
- ALSX camera offsets, which were changed earlier (85472)
- the SR3 and SRM dackill bypass times were lengthened temporarily for part of the work today, which I realize now should have been reverted oops need to fix when we're out of Observing tomorrow
- SQZ OPO servo's common board excitation had been left switched on (switch on the right from EXC A), so I just opened the switch
TITLE: 07/01 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
INCOMING OPERATOR: Oli
SHIFT SUMMARY:
SQZr trouble at the start of the lock but recovered and got to Observing at 00:07 UTC.
H1 was locked fine for 4 hours and 35 Minutes.
Then all the sudden Unknown Lockloss at 2025-07-01 03:56:04 UTC.
I tried to allow H1 to relock itself but it wanted me to find ASL-Y arm by hand and then seemed to get trapped in a PRMI loop. So after about 30 Minutes I did an Initial Alignment.
This did allow for a quick lock of DRMI_1F.
H1 is currently at ENGAGE_SOFT_LOOPS and locking Quickly.

On Friday Jun 27th Francisco and I went to the the PCAL lab and did a PCAL TX module maintenance according to T1600436.
AOM alignment was touched up

QUICK SUMMARY:
H1 Is Currently Locked at NLN {600} But not Observing due to a SQZ_SHG issue:
Error SQZ_SHG [LOCKED.run] USERMSG 0: PZT voltage limits exceeded.
Sheila is currently working on the issue.
Sheila Fixed the issue, I have attached soem pictures to help future Ops that find this issue:
Sitemap -> SQZ -> SQZ_OVERVIEW -> SQZT0 -> PZT -> Move H1:SQZ-SHG_PZT_OFFSET slider.
We Now have a "pump fiber rej power in ham7, nominal 35e-3, align fiber pol on sqzt0" error message on SQZ-OPO_LR. nopted will do tomorrow.
Then we took SQZ_ANG_ADJUST Guardian to ADJUST_SQZ_ANG_ADF [10] which kinda worked but didn't improve sqzing and reverted back.
I then accepted the SDFs and now we're back in Observing at 00:07:25 UTC.
An NDScope of what the GRD-SQZ_SHG Guardian was doing.

After 5 minutes or so from stepping the CO2 lasers from 1.7W to 0.9W, we began to see the 13Hz ring-up again before losing lock.
We believe this to be PRCL losing gain because of the change in the CO2s. I'm also wondering if the CO2s may be miscentered and causing some roll modes via differential heating of the fibers -- the frequenices do not exactly match up I think but need to check on this.
15:40 UTC lockloss while we were running the CO2 stepper. alog85429
