TITLE: 07/04 Owl Shift: 07:00-15:00 UTC (00:00-08:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 146Mpc
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Lock #1:
Lock #2:
- Relocking went unassisted (needed INCREASE_FLASHES for X-arm and PRMI)
- Waited in OMC_WHITENING for about 1.5 hours for violins to damp
- Spoke with Rahul as he's been monitoring these violin ringups. We're still unsure as to why they're being kicked so much following a lockloss, but we agree that the nominal full-power damping settings are still working. Might be worth trying on next lock acquisition if they're rung up again to carefully increase some of the damping gains to save time (Rahul would like to be on standby if this is done)
- NLN and Observing @ 10:50
Handing off to Tony for the day.
