Ops EVE Shift End

TITLE: 06/16 Eve Shift: 2300-0800 UTC (1600-0100 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 158Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Corey
SHIFT SUMMARY:  We are Observing at 158 Mpc and have been locked for 6 hours now. The only issues I had today was the OPO ISS maxing out at 54uW and so not being able to catch at 80uW and so needing to adjust the setpoint, and then relocking after the 06/16 00:01 UTC lockloss , I had some issues with getting PRMI and DRMI to lock, but it makes sense since the wind was still a bit high at the time. After that the night has been quiet.
LOG:

23:00 Detector relocking and at DARM_TO_RF

23:39 NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE
- SQZ OPO ISS pump having trouble locking. The OPO transmission couldn't go higher than 54.6uW
    - Adjusted OPO temp, but the current temp was the best so I put it back. Reloaded the OPO guardian (So I had changed nothing!). OPO was able to get up to 72 after this, but still not to 80.
    - Naoki came on teamspeak and lowered the threshold to 70, and it caught very soon after that.
00:01 While dealing with the OPO, we lost lock. We had been locked for 22 minutes

00:29 Lockloss from ACQUIRE_DRMI
00:30 Started an initial alignment
00:51 Initial alignment done, relocking
01:04 Lockloss from ACQUIRE_DRMI
01:52 NOMINAL_LOW_NOISE
01:56 Observing
02:01 Our range was low so I took us out of Observing and ran the sqz tuning guardian states
02:10 Back to Observing, with a 7Mpc increase in range

05:25 Left Observing and started calibration measurements
05:53 Calibration measurements done, running sqz alignment (new optic offsets accepted)

06:05 Back into Observing
