Things are looking very stable over the past week; makes sense since very little has been asked of the PSL recently. The PMC and RefCav could still use an alignment touch-up, which I'll get to hopefully this week.

We decided to rename the SR3 OPLEV Whitening to AA chassis cable from SUS_SR3-168 to SUS_OPLEV_SR3_AA. We decided to do this for a couple reasons: SUS_SR3-168 is not a very helpful name, it matches better with the other OPLEVs' cables, and anyway we had already been calling that cable SUS_OPLEV_SR3_AA in our wiring diagrams for a while.
We relabeled both sides of the cable.

We made several updates to multiple SUS simulink models as a continuation of our work converting SUSB123 and SUSH34 into SUSB13 and SUSB2H34 (88765). Our changes were based on our updated G2301306-v10_PARTII - for the conversion from SUSH34 into SUSB13 for SUSAUXB2H34, we referenced slides 25 and 26. These changes were svn'd as r34398 and were installed and started last week (88781).
These are the changes we had to made for h1susauxb2h34 (previously called h1susauxh34):
CDS Parameter Block:
- Changed hostname from h1susauxh34 to h1susauxb2h34
- Removed specific_cpu
Input (before, after):
- Added ADC6 and ADC7
- Added BS block (taken from susauxb123)
- Connected ADC6 and ADC7 to BS block

We have returned ZM2 to the original position at the beginning of O4, we alleviated some of the saturation but the ZM3 iris still require adjustment.
Power budget looks good so far. With 0.77mW exiting the OPO and reaches AM3 at the same power. We observed 0.75mW of OPO trans and 18.1mW of OPO refl on SQZT7 periscope.

This morning we added the damper parts to the JAC in HAM1 chamber - see picture attached. The cables were re-routed slightly so that they don't interfere with the damper.
I have finger tightened the screws of the damper for now - since no torque spec was provided and we were worried that tightening them too much might affect its position/angle.
Yesterday I picked up the shipment from LLO contain the 2nd HXDS (first HXDS shipment alog87998) and related ASSEYs and brought it to the Triples lab.
Uwrapping and inspecting was uneventful, the zip ties were intact, the shock pads untripped and the humidity indicator was unchanged in color. The outer (front, back) and inner (front, back) bags were in good condition, unwrapping the suspension I found no play with the blades. All the nuts and dowel pins were tight and well seated, the ICS looks good except for it seems to be missing the HDS Intermediate Mass Fixture (D2000230-V1, s/n 08). The part is scribed as V1, on the dcc there's a V2 with two added 8-32 helicoils taps that, based on D1900352 which uses V2, I should be able to see from the front and I don't, so this is a V1 plate and not an incorrectly scribed V2. I believe these two missing 8-32 holes are where we will attach the BOSEM Mounting plate (D2000257). The first HXDS we received in November had the V2 plate. We may have to do a small rework to update it to V2, or have LLO send the V2 part if possible.
The pre-filters were replaced in the FCES air handler.

The elevated sensors listed are just from HAM1 and HAM7, which is expected
All chambers are looking normal relative to the current state that they are in (locked, vented, etc)
We have intalled the POP periscope stiffener.
Some dog clamps in the REFL path as well as the cable bracket for PM1 were relocated to accomodate. 1st and 2nd picture are "before" photo. 3rd one is after PM1 cable bracket relocation but before installing the stiffener. There are also three "after" photos showing how things look on the table.
POP beam clearance:
I took the picture of the bottom periscope mirror through dichroic (HR for IR, transmission for green) to see the beam clearance. In the first such photo (POP_beam_clearance.jpg), the camera is close to the center of the dichroic and the short stiffener beam is close to the edge of the optic but not occulting the mirror, so we're OK. Just to make sure that we're absolutely safe, I moved the camera closer to the -Y edge (right on the picture) of the dichroic (POP_beam_clearance_extreme.jpg) and it still looks OK.
If it's hard to understand what was done, look at the annotated photo (the last attachment After_stiffener_installed_annotated.jpg), the cellphone camera was inserted to "Camera" position.
REFL beam path:
I confirmed that the long stiffener beam doesn't interfere with the motion of the REFL beam diverter. Also, when the REFL beam diverter is open, I looked into the last steering mirror for the REFL air path from the viewport position to make sure that the short stiffener beam won't occult the REFL path.
Some hiccups:
We used D2500433 -11 variant S/N 4 and -1 variant S/N1 even though page 11 of T2500339 suggests it should be -10 and -2 variant, respectively. We didn't have -10 variant, and -2 variant was absolutely too short.
B&K
We performed B&K hammer measurements before/after the stiffener installation for POP periscope. Before, there was a 70Hz-ish peak. After, it was pushed higher up in frequency. The transducer was attached to the ISI table and Jim hammered the top of the periscope.
Likewise we did B&K test for the input periscope of the JAC even though it was not absolutely necessary.
We haven't done B&K for the JAC output periscope because it's not even fully clamped down (we will move it).
Jim will post the data.
Unused stiffener parts are in my office for now.
Tagging EPO for photos.
These are the measurements we got with the B&K of the POP periscope before and after adding the stiffener. For the POP periscope, we mounted the accel to the table, right at the foot of the periscope, and did the impacts at the top of the post. The accelerometer was mounted with the sensors Z aligned vertically, the Y axis was roughly parallel to the edge of the ISI, so it was mostly pointing along the IFO X arm. First and second images are impacts in the IFO X and Y dofs, you can pretty clearly see the 70hz post resonance. Third, fourth and fifth images are with the accelerometer in the same spot after adding the stiffener, it seems the mode has successfully been moved much higher to around 170hz. This should allow me to increase the ugf and loop gain quite a bit, to be more like the other ISI. I'll verify with tfs on the ISI after the vent.
Last 3 images are B&K measurements of the JAC periscope, accel for these measurements was mounted on the edge of the table, with x,y,z sensor dofs aligned to the IFO x,y,z dofs. This also looks pretty good, first features are over 200hz.
Attached zip contains the csv data exports of each of the measurements. Names indicate the direction of the hit with the hammer, relative to IFO x,y,z conventions.

This morning we physically moved ZM4 (since the sliders were saturating the DAQ output) in YAW to better align it with ZM5 and ZM6. More details (including health check results) will be posted later.
ZM4 is now dogged down to its new position.
I ran a quick transfer functions on ZM4, a few things to note. The suspension is in air so I changed the Coil Driver state from 2 to 1 (reverted once I was done) as the wiki suggested, the ISI is also tripped but the damping was engaged on the suspension. We were also slightly shaking due to an 6.1 earthquake from near Japan.
The suspension is looking healthy.
