STATE of H1: Lock Acquisition
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Ibrahim
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: CALM
Wind: 20mph Gusts, 16mph 5min avg
Primary useism: 0.14 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.71 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
H1 is in the process of relocking; currently up to ENGAGE_ASC_FOR_FULL_IFO. We'll pause at TRANSITION_FROM_ETMX for some commissioning investigations. Secondary microseism is elevated and wind has picked up this afternoon.
Lockloss again during TRANSITION_FROM_ETMX; the same place as before.
Since the wind is forecasted to die down this evening, I'll plan on holding H1 at 2W in the CHECK_VIOLINS_BEFORE_POWERUP state and engage 2W damping until the wind calms, then try again to get through TRANSITION_FROM_ETMX in case the excess ground motion is what's causing trouble.
