On May 19th, 2026, we took our first set of transfer functions for the BBSS after swapping in the glass optic. They all came out looking good, albiet very noisy because the suspension wasn't covered.
Comparing them to the last measurement we did in the staging building, the peaks still all match up well. There is just a consistance difference in magnitude, but that is probably just due to the difference in electronics between the QUAD stand in the staging building and the BS electronics in the LVEA.

These measurements were taken with BOSEMs. The extra factor of ~4 that these measurements are lower by as compared to the older staging building trace is due to electronics. The BSFM was moved from 18- to 28-bit DACs back in January, so I compensated for this change in the COILOUTF filter bank by adding a filter module with a gain of 1024. However, the BBSS measurements made in the staging building were using a 16-bit DAC, so when we moved the BBSS onto the BSFM system, there was a factor of four of drive missing from excitations, hence these measurements looking lower as compared to the measurements in the staging building. That was remedied after this.
