OPS Thursday Day shift summary

TITLE: 10/05 Day Shift: 15:00-23:00 UTC (08:00-16:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
INCOMING OPERATOR: Austin
SHIFT SUMMARY:

We dropped out of observing for a quick ring heater change from 17:34:23 till 17:35:25UTC, we dropped out of observing again to revert the ring heater changes and for Dave to restart picket-fence which has been frozen, starting at 20:39:26 but unfortunately we lost lock soon after at 20:46UTC.

Relocking I had to play the DOF dance a little with Yarm, turning off WFS_DOF_1_P to get ALS to lock. I couldn't get any flashes on DRMI or PRMI and CHECK_MICH lost lock so I started an initial alignment at 21:37UTC, finished at 22:05UTC. Robert and Ryan went into the LVEA to investigate the PSL airflow while we were relocking and Robert did a sweep as he left.

We reaquired NLN at 22:46UTC, we're just waiting on ADS to converge to go into Observing. PI 24 and 31 rang up early on but they were quickly damped by guardian.
