TITLE: 07/05 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 145Mpc
SHIFT SUMMARY:
LOG: In NLN for 1h30.

Currently Observing and with violins slowly damping, slowest to damp is EX08. EX19 is high and not damping on it's own. The spreadsheet says this is a new mode, Ryan and I just started damping it and will watch closely 68650.

Both locks I tried to speed the violin damping slightly by requesting the nominal damping settings if the guardian had used lower settings and the _OUTMON channel was low (stay under 200 with nominal settings). Does the VIOLIN-DAMPING guardian re-check and turn them up again after the mode has dropped? It looks like it doesn't. Tagging SUS.
