TITLE: 10/17 Day Shift: 1430-2330 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Wind
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan S
SHIFT SUMMARY:
IFO is in IDLE due to MICROSEISM
Nature has not been good to Hanford today.
90%+ microseism and 40 mph gusts of wind have preventing locking.
We've been abl;e to get past DRMI with some ops intervention (PRM and BS touching in PRMI).
21:00 UTC to 21:09 UTC OBSERVING - We were able to lock for a whole 9 minutes but had a Lockloss due to the 1Hz ringup (alog 87547)
After losing lock, the microseism started trending down (yay!) but the wind speed started increasing rapidly (no!) so we are no unable to lock ALS. Thus, we are sitting IDLE after 5+ failed ALS attempts.
Relevant alogs:
PRMI to MICH timer reduction (alog 87540)
IMC Request Gain Scaling (alog 87545, alog 86744)
