Check whether the SQZ TEC servos need to be switched off during venting

The purpose of this investigation is to find out whether or not the SQZ TEC servos needs to be switched off during venting (and then possibly to update M1300464).

Attached are pictures of sections in which all servos were switched off and once where all were on during venting.

The area between -19.5d and -15.5d from t0=Sun Sep 25 2022 13:13:15 UTC was selected for all servos are off and -11.5d to +1.5d from t0= Fri Jan 26 2024 20:34:02 UTC for all servos are on.

Picture structure

The images are named as follows:

The pictures are structured as followed:

Temperature
  H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_LOOP_SWITCH H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_THERMISTOR_TEMPERATURE H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_THERMISTOR_2_TEMPERATURE H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_THERMISTOR_1_TEMPERATURE  
XXX = OPO H1:SQZ-OPO_TEC_LOOP_SWITCH H1:SQZ-OPO_TEC_THERMISTOR_TEMPERATURE H1:SQZ-OPO_TEC_THERMISTOR_TEMPERATURE H1:SQZ-OPO_TEC_THERMISTOR_TEMPERATURE H0:VAC-LY_HAM7_PT153_MOD2_PRESS_TORR
XXX = SFI1          
XXX = SFI2          
XXX = OFI          

 

Readback
  H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_LOOP_SWITCH H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_VOLTAGEBACK H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_CURRENTBACK H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_POWERBACK H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_VOLTSOUT H1:SQZ-XXX_TEC_CONTROLSIG  
XXX = OPO             H0:VAC-LY_HAM7_PT153_MOD2_PRESS_TORR
XXX = SFI1              
XXX = SFI2              
XXX = OFI              

 

Result

Temperature does not change during venting, which means from this point of view it does not need to be switched off.

Whereas the readback senses venting. Most have only minimal changes in voltage of max 0.2V but a few have larger changes:

  Servo on Servo off  |Servo on - Servo off|  
H1:SQZ-OPO_TEC_VOLTAGEBACK [V] 0.1 0.7 0.6 Servo on < Servo off
H1:SQZ-OPO_TEC_VOLTSOUT [V] 0.1 0.85 0.7 Servo on < Servo off
H1:SQZ-SFI1_TEC_VOLTSOUT [V] 0.6 0.35 0.25 Servo on > Servo off
H1:SQZ-SFI2_TEC_VOLTSOUT [V] 0.7 0.3 0.4 Servo on > Servo off
H1:SQZ-OFI_TEC_VOLTAGEBACK [V] 0.6 0.3 0.3 Servo on > Servo off
H1:SQZ-OFI_TEC_VOLTSOUT [V] 1.6 0.7 0.9 Servo on > Servo off

Attached is a plot of OFI with the pressure analysis as the venting in this chamber was earlier.
