TITLE: 11/05 Eve Shift: 23:00-07:00 UTC (16:00-00:00 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan C
SHIFT SUMMARY:
- Shift started with opportunistic PEM commissioning
- 23:32 Resumed observing
- 01:35 Dropped observing from SQZ ISS pump dropping out (tagging SQZ)
- Guardians brought everything back automatically
- 01:37 Resumed observing
- 04:12 Lockloss - alog
- Struggling to relock; locklosses at various places
- 05:50 Starting initial alignment
- 06:23 IA finished, trying to lock again
- Still no luck; issues seem to be around TR_CARM steps. Still having the problem where ALS_DIFF is not stable when looking for IR resonance during FIND_IR, but I can usually get it good enough to progress past CHECK_IR
- Looking into possibility of bounce/roll modes being rung up, but they seem to be around this level at this point in the lock sequence
- Walking through steps of START_TR_CARM line-by-line (the problem state); lockloss happens soon after ALS-C_REFL_DC_BIAS_GAIN is set to 24
- Now struggling to get even up to locking DRMI; green in arms is having trouble staying locked, possibly due to higher microseism?
Tagging in Ryan C to continue troubleshooting.
