Nonsens Jitter Cleaning updated

[Matt, Jenne, Elenna]

Matt and I tried running a new jitter training on CALIB STRAIN CLEAN, and noticed that we could likely subtract a bit more jitter noise from CLEAN, and also probably reinject less noise, especially around the power lines. We then reran a training on NOLINES to prepare to apply the new cleaning today.

Jenne then walked me through how to generate the script which would update the cleaning parameters. I copied over the old observe.snap file, in case I made a mistake and need to revert to the old coefficients.

Once we were in observing, I ran Jenne's template which checks how the cleaning is performing. It definitely looks like it is doing a good job. I accepted the new parameters. Once we are locked for a little longer, I will generate some comparison plots to the old cleaning parameters.

Here is a ratio comparison plot, showing the ratio of CLEAN / NOLINES for an observing time last night and today. We're still thermalizing, so this may change slightly. Matt and I adjusted the plot colors and alpha so the old cleaning is on the bottom and you can see where we are no longer injecting extra noise, and also where the cleaning has improved slightly, especially for the peaks at a few hundreds of Hz.

Measuring SR3 OLG TFs to get DAMP filter compensation gains

Ivey used the ISO calibration measurements that I took earlier (85906) to calculate what the OSEMINF gains should be on SR3 (85907), and this script also calculates what it thinks the compensation gain in the DAMP filter bank should be.
The next step is to use OLG TFs to measure what values we would use in the DAMP filter bank to compensate for the change in OSEMINF gains, and we can compare them to the calculated values to see how close they are.

I took two sets of OLG measurements for SR3:
- a set with the nominal OSEMINF gains
    T1: 1.478
    T2: 0.942
    T3: 0.952
    LF: 1.302
    RT: 1.087
    SD: 1.290
- a set with the OSEMINF gains changed to the values in 85907
    T1: 3.213
    T2: 1.517
    T3: 1.494
    LF: 1.733
    RT: 1.494
    SD: 1.793

Measurement settings:
- SR3 in HEALTH_CHECK but with damping loops on
- SR3 damping nominal (all -0.5)
- HAM5 in ISOLATED

Nominal gain set:
/ligo/svncommon/SusSVN/sus/trunk/HLTS/H1/SR3/SAGM1/Data/2025-07-22_1700_H1SUSSR3_M1_WhiteNoise_{L,T,V,R,P,Y}_0p02to50Hz_OpenLoopGainTF.xml r12478

New gain set:
/ligo/svncommon/SusSVN/sus/trunk/HLTS/H1/SR3/SAGM1/Data/2025-07-22_1800_H1SUSSR3_M1_WhiteNoise_{L,T,V,R,P,Y}_0p02to50Hz_OpenLoopGainTF.xml r12478

Once I had taken these measurements, I exported txt files for each dof's OLG and used one of my scripts, /ligo/svncommon/SusSVN/sus/trunk/HLTS/Common/MatlabTools/divide_traces_tfs.m to plot the OLG for each dof to compare the traces between OSEMINF gain differences and then divide the traces and grab an average of that, which will be the compensation gain put in as a filter in the DAMP filter bank (plots). The values I got for the compensation gains are below:
    L: 0.740
    T: 0.732
    V: 0.548
    R: 0.550
    P: 0.628
    Y: 0.757

DOF OLTF measured and calculated DAMP Compensation gains ISO Calibration measurement calculated compensation gains (85907) Percent difference (%)
L 0.740 0.740 0.0
T 0.732 0.719 1.8
V 0.548 0.545 0.5
R 0.550 0.545 0.9
P 0.628 0.629 0.2
Y 0.757 0.740 2.3

 These are pretty similar to what my script had found them to be last time before the satamp swap (85288), as well as being very similar to the values that Ivey's script had calculated.
Maybe the accuracy from Ivey's script means that in the future we don't need to run the double sets of OLG transfer functions and can jsut use the values that the script gives.

The compensation gains have been loaded into the SR3 DAMP filter bank in FM7 as well as being updated in the estimator damp banks for P and Y. They have been loaded in but of course, are currrently left off for nominal operations since the OSEMINF gains haven't been updated yet

SQZT7 Beam Profiling with different ZM4 and ZM5 PSAMS Settings

Leo, Jennie, Camilla, WP 12694

Jennie followed instructions for set up in 85775. We removed the SQZ beam iris at the bottom of the LPM (added for alignment capture during OFI vent work). Then took beam profiles in this SQZ path of the SEED beam with various PSAMS settings, adjusted PSAMS settings as in 85775 and used the servo for nominal settings. All data is attached. Jennie then reverted settings back to nominal.

The attached pdf contains all the beam q parameters fitted to the collected beam width data. Only the 13.5% data was fitted, as the D4S data was too inconsistent to obtain confident q values.

Fitting was performed with the a la mode beamPath.fitBeamWidth function. 
The attached q parameters were individually plotted using a la mode and verified for their data-fitting accuracy.

As mentioned in the document, all q parameters are located immediately after the interaction with ZM5 (through the view of BM4 -> ZM4 -> ZM5 beam travel).

Attached is a plot of the q manifold from the q parameter data, which allows for characterizing the beam smoothly with respect to ZM4/5 strain gauge voltage values.
The image is taken from the presentation uploaded to T2500228. The real plot will likely have slightly different labels to axes.

OSEM calibration of H1:SUS-SR3
OSEM calibration of H1:SUS-SR3
Stage: M1
2025-07-22_1530 (UTC).

The suggested (calibrated) M1 OSEMINF gains are
(new T1) = 2.174 * (old T1) = 3.213 
(new T2) = 1.610 * (old T2) = 1.517 
(new T3) = 1.569 * (old T3) = 1.494 
(new LF) = 1.331 * (old LF) = 1.733 
(new RT) = 1.374 * (old RT) = 1.494 
(new SD) = 1.390 * (old SD) = 1.793 

To compensate for the OSEM gain changes, we estimate that the H1:SUS-SR3_M1_DAMP loops must be changed by factors of: 
L gain = 0.740 * (old L gain)
T gain = 0.719 * (old T gain)
V gain = 0.545 * (old V gain)
R gain = 0.545 * (old R gain)
P gain = 0.629 * (old P gain)
Y gain = 0.740 * (old Y gain)

The calibration will change the apparent alignment of the suspension as seen by the at the M1 OSEMs
NOTE: The actual alignment of the suspension will NOT change as a result of the calibration process

The changes are computed as (osem2eul) * gain * inv(osem2eul).
Using the alignments from 2025-07-22_1530 (UTC) as a reference, the new apparent alingments are:

DOF        Previous value       New value            Apparent change

Y          -585.0 urad          -431.9 urad          +153.1 urad

We have estimated a OSEM calibration of H1 SR3 M1 using HAM5 ST1 drives from 2025-05-21_0000 (UTC).
We fit the response M1_DAMP/HAM5_SUSPOINT between 5 and 15 Hz to get a calibration in [OSEM m]/[GS13 m]

EXTRA INFORMATION 

The H1:SUS-SR3_M1_OSEMINF gains at the time of measurement were:
(old) T1: 1.478 
(old) T2: 0.942 
(old) T3: 0.952 
(old) LF: 1.302 
(old) RT: 1.087 
(old) SD: 1.290 

The matrix to convert from the old Euler dofs to the (calibrated) new Euler dofs is:

+0.74	-0.0	+0.0	-0.0	+0.0	-0.001
+0.0	+0.719	-0.0	+0.0	+0.0	-0.0

-0.148	+0.0	-0.0	+0.0	-0.0	+0.74

The matrix is used as (M) * (old EUL dof) = (new EUL dof)
The dof ordering is ('L', 'T', 'V', 'R', 'P', 'Y')

Comparing these new OSEMINF gains to the gains we got last time we did this (84367) (before the satamp swap), they are pretty similar:

OSEM Previous Calculated OSEMINF gains (84367) New Calculated OSEMINF gains (85907) Percent difference (%)
T1 3.627 3.213 12.1
T2 1.396 1.517 8.3
T3 1.345 1.494 10.4
LF 1.719 1.733 0.8
RT 1.490 1.494 0.2
SD 1.781 1.793 0.6

So that's another indicator that the sat amp swap did not have much of an effect on the suspension response to suspoint excitations

New OSEMINF gain calibration measurements taken for SR3

This is part of the work we are doing for the Estimator. As part of that work, we are finetuning the OSEMINF gains, which we did previously for SR3 (84298), but since we've swapped the satamps we want to check how different these new values will be compared to the current gains as well as the gains we found that last time.

Compensation filters for MC2, PR2, TMSX, and ETMX M0/R0/L1 updated to satamp channel specific filters

After last week's satamp changes (85770), the compensation filters found in the OSEMINF filter bank for MC2, PR2, TMSX, and ETMX M0/R0/L1 were all updated to a generic compensation filter of 5.31:0.0969. I have now updated those filters based on the experimental measurements Jeff got for each satamp's channel (the same as what I did in 85746).

To update the compensation filters, I used the newest version of my script satampswap_bestpossible_filterupdate_ECR_E2400330.py, svn revision r12475. This newest version of the code allows you to specify which stage you want to update, if you aren't wanting to update every stage listed in the txt files. Here is a txt file of my inputs and the corresponding outputs for the lines of code that I ran.

I have loaded these more accurate filters in for these suspension/stages.
