Dramatic Improvement in H1SUSOPO TFs after Adjusting Cable Dressing; Still Some Work Tho
J. Kissel

Took a set of TFs after Rahul and Sheila re-dressed the cables surrounding the H1SUSOPO (LHO:88920). The TFs -- especially Y to Y look a *lot* better with the higher frequency modes re-aligning with historical measurements and the model. There's still some mode splitting in the lowest mode, that I suspect is the transverse/vertical/yaw system not quite yet as soft as it used to was. Rahul mentions they did *not* address the cables that were zip-tied to the H3/V3 spring post so that could be it.

We'll discuss and game plan more with the crew tomorrow.

Again ran in the configuration where only the DOF being driven was undamped.
