After opening the X arm, Jenne used the baffle PD script to roughly align the X arm.
We've found that the green beam was too high, hitting the aluminum part of the top periscope mirror mount. But it was off in YAW, too. We moved the PR3 to see what happens, but we ended up reverting it and moved pico steering mirror for POP path in HAM3.
In PIT, green beam was brought to a place where it's higher than the middle of the top periscope mirror because centering that beam in PIT the IR beam will be clipped.
The IR beam was still very close to the +X-Y edge of the dichroic and also the 90:10 to split in-air and in-vac beams, so pico-ed in YAW too.
At this point there was a HUGE pit offset on POP-X, the beam was hitting the top of the QPD case, and large (but not huge) yaw offset. We couldn't center the beam using PM1, so we used the dichroic.
We had to set the DC gain of the WFS DC interface on the front panel to HIGH to be able to see any meaningful DC signal from POPX, but anyway we managed to roughly center the beam in that H1:ASC-POP_X_DC_PIT_OUT and H1:ASC-POP_X_DC_YAW_OUT go both positive and negative as the beam fluctuates.
We didn't see anything on LSC POP_A at this point. We scanned PM1 and found that the beam is not that far and off mostly in PIT. We used a pico-ed splitter to split ASC and LSC POP to steer the beam on POP_A. We scanned the PICO to roughly put the beam at the center of the plateau. I say "roughly" because we used PRX beam which was freely flashing, so it was hard to go precise, but we can always do it after pumping down.
I say that the in-vac alignment is done (in that we can fine-tune after pumping down using picos and suspensions in HAM1 and also using pico in HAM3 if necessary).
Since we changed the HAM3 pico and made a large adjustment of the dichroic, the in-air POP beam as well as the green beam should have been affected. We'll put the table by HAM1 and see how they land on the periscope, and will adjust the steering mirrors in HAM1 if needed.
FYI, attached is a cartoon of what I think we did in the above alog as far as beam positions go.
Top row represents the top periscope mirror seen from HAM2 and the bottom row the dichroic seen from HAM2. Red,green and green-dotted circles represent the POP, ALSX and ALSY beam respectively, though in reality we didn't open the Y arm so we didn't see ALSY.
Circle radius represents the beam radius (about 2mm or so for POP and 1.4mm or so for ALS).
Beam spacings are according to Mike Smith's calculation (L1200282 section 1 and table 1).
