Errata for PR3 OSEM calibration [LHO aLog: 86222].

While double-checking the PR3 OSEM calibration script, I noticed a typo on the printing output of the function that generated the logpost [LHO: 86222].

No changes need to be made because the calculated M1 OSEM calibrations and M1_DAMP gains are both correct.

However, the expected alignments posted in [LHO: 86222] were wrong, as the (old EUL) to (new EUL) transformation matrix was accidentally inverted.

 

I post here the corrected script output for the PR3 OSEM calibration for the sake of documentation and transparency. Note that the theoretically expected alignment values are in line with the observed ones [see attached screenshot]

OSEM calibration of H1:SUS-PR3
Stage: M1
2025-08-05_1700 (UTC).

The suggested (calibrated) M1 OSEMINF gains are
(new T1) = 1.770 * (old T1) = 2.055
(new T2) = 1.547 * (old T2) = 1.544
(new T3) = 1.443 * (old T3) = 1.511
(new LF) = 1.590 * (old LF) = 1.862
(new RT) = 1.774 * (old RT) = 2.063
(new SD) = 1.543 * (old SD) = 1.639

To compensate for the OSEM gain changes, we estimate that the H1:SUS-PR3_M1_DAMP loops must be changed by factors of:
L gain = 0.596 * (old L gain)
T gain = 0.648 * (old T gain)
V gain = 0.617 * (old V gain)
R gain = 0.617 * (old R gain)
P gain = 0.670 * (old P gain)
Y gain = 0.596 * (old Y gain)

The calibration will change the apparent alignment of the suspension as seen by the at the M1 OSEMs
NOTE: The actual alignment of the suspension will NOT change as a result of the calibration process

The changes are computed as (osem2eul) * gain * inv(osem2eul).
Using the alignments from 2025-08-05_1700 (UTC) as a reference, the new apparent alingments are:

DOF        Previous value       New value            Apparent change
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L          -57.1 um             -97.3 um               -40.2 um
T          -101.3 um            -156.3 um              -55.0 um
V           62.4 um              106.7 um              +44.4 um
R           433.5 urad           819.6 urad          +386.1 urad
P          -631.8 urad          -981.5 urad          -349.7 urad
Y          -166.7 urad          -345.9 urad          -179.3 urad

We have estimated a OSEM calibration of H1 PR3 M1 using HAM2 ST1 drives from 2025-05-21_0000 (UTC).
We fit the response M1_DAMP/HAM2_SUSPOINT between 5 and 15 Hz to get a calibration in [OSEM m]/[GS13 m]

EXTRA INFORMATION

The H1:SUS-PR3_M1_OSEMINF gains at the time of measurement were:
(old) T1: 1.161
(old) T2: 0.998
(old) T3: 1.047
(old) LF: 1.171
(old) RT: 1.163
(old) SD: 1.062

The matrix to convert from the old Euler dofs to the (calibrated) new Euler dofs is:

+1.682    +0.0    -0.0    +0.0    -0.0    +0.007
+0.0    +1.543    +0.0    -0.0    -0.0    +0.0
+0.0    +0.0    +1.633    +0.01    -0.001    -0.0
+0.0    -0.0    +1.964    +1.633    +0.017    +0.0
-0.0    -0.0    -1.154    +0.081    +1.495    +0.0
+1.148    -0.0    -0.0    +0.0    +0.0    +1.682

The matrix is used as (M) * (old EUL dof) = (new EUL dof)
The dof ordering is ('L', 'T', 'V', 'R', 'P', 'Y')
