Recent monthly Fscan spectra show a comb at multiples of 0.996785 Hz, in approximately the region 20-100 Hz. Subsequent investigation shows that it probably appeared between Sept 21 and Sept 24, although the exact date is difficult to tell.
Further details:
Note that there was a comb in O3 with spacing 0.996806 Hz (which, on inspection of the O3 spectrum, seems to have a double-peak structure). Although they are very close, the new comb comb does not precisely align with the O3 comb, nor with its second peak.
Ansel pointed out on 20th September 72993 I adjusted the HWS ITMX camera frame rate from 5Hz to 1Hz as the HWS SLED had decayed. I woluld expect the pixel brightness to be larger for ITMX comapred to the amout of SLED power, but it's been lower than ITMY even with the slower camera sync freqnuncy (ITMY was 5Hz, ITMX 1Hz), plot attached.
Today (20:10UTC) I adjusted HWS ITMX the frame rate back from 1Hz to 5Hz. We've previously seen coupling from the HWS camera, see 44847 but expected we'd fixed the issue by using external power supplies for the cameras FRS4559. We could discuss turning all HWS off during observing if this is the cause of the comb.
Update: H1:PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_OUTPUTOPTICS_Y_DQ sees this comb very clearly, and shows that it appeared part way through the day on Sept 20th. Will try to identify start time more clearly using this magnetometer channel.
Looks like it's gone in the magnetometer channel! Pre/post spectra attached.
Thank you Camilla for helping to mitigate this comb. I wonder if there are other combs that are being caused by the HWS system / power supplies. Can we turn off all HWS if they are not used during observing? We may find this would solve other problems in addition to this one. Thanks!
