Lockloss @ 18:53 UTC from site power glitch, trend attached. This tripped the end station HEPI pump controllers (and so far nothing else, that I've noticed), so I consulted with Jim and he walked me through what needs to be done to reset them. Heading out to the end stations now.

After running calibration sweeps this morning while L1 was out of lock, I also took the opportunity to touch up the OPO temperature with the SQZ_OPO_LR Guardian as I noticed the range gradually decreasing over this lock stretch. This went well, improving CLF_REFL_RF6 a bit and gaining H1 about 6-8Mpc of BNS range.

H1 returned to observing at 18:19 UTC.

Since the scheduled calibration time was missed yesterday due to a lockloss, while L1 was out of lock this morning, I took the opportunity to drop observing at 17:38 UTC and run the broadband and Simulines sweeps. Calibration report and screenshot of the calibration monitor screen are attached.

Broadband: 17:39 to 17:44 UTC

Simulines: 17:45 to 18:08 UTC

SHIFT SUMMARY: A lockloss towards the end of the shift and right after relocking.
LOG: No log

I've added the damping settings I found the other day (FM1+FM2+FM10 G=-50) into lscparams after seeing it work for many lock stretches, the VIOLIN_DAMPING GRD could use a reload to see this change.

• 00:01 - 00:05 UTC dropped Observing from the SQZer's PMC losing lock
• 02:56 UTC lockloss from an ETMX glitch
  • 03:58 UTC initial alignment, DRMI locked after 7 minute now
  • 05:08 NLN
• 05:09 lockloss, ??? Annoying

I took some high resolution spectra in the 1460 - 1500 bandwidth of DARM to look at the second harmonic violin mode region, all of these might not be violin modes. I found 5 over 10^-16, 1468.4961 1472.7793, 1481.9717 (monitor filter on ETMY mode19), 1492.0198, and 1497.1934 (the worst offenders), these were reduced to 3 when I took another spectra with a smaller bw an hour later. There were also several above 10^-17, 1464.5293, 1464.0234, 1467.3916 1468.5879, 1471.2969, 1471.7012,  1472.9668, 1482.0117, 1494.3535, 1494.3711, 1499.5937, 1500.4248. The frequencies I saw don't match the old ones reported in the wiki's violin mode table or in T1800327 but I believe these documents were from pre-O3.

Lockloss 02:56 UTC from an ETMX glitch just under 1/4 of a second before the LL

STATE of H1: Observing at 145Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ryan C
SHIFT SUMMARY: Pretty straightforward day of public site tours and only one lockloss with a fully automatic relock after. Planned calibration sweep was missed because of this; Ryan C. says he'll run it if L1 drops out of observing this evening. H1 has now been locked for 4.5 hours.

TITLE: 07/12 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Observing at 144Mpc
OUTGOING OPERATOR: Ryan S
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
    SEI_ENV state: CALM
    Wind: 14mph Gusts, 9mph 3min avg
    Primary useism: 0.03 μm/s
    Secondary useism: 0.10 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:

• We've been locked for just over 4 hours
  • We had our best range ~30 minutes after locking, I can see ZM4 is drifting a bit mostly in P, but the angle is probably not optimized for being fully thermalized as the ANG servo isn't being used right now
• The calibration measurement was not run due to a lockloss, if LLO loses lock I'll drop observing and run the measurement
• The SQZ_PMC GRD is reporting the PMC PZT volts are low

Closes FAMIS26404, last checked in alog85561

Everything looks the same as it did last week.

Lockloss @ 17:23 UTC after 8 hrs locked - link to lockloss tool

Looks to be an ETMX glitch about a half second before the lockloss.

LOG:  

• 23:57 UTC lockloss
  • After DRMI struggled, during PRMI I held in PRMI_LOCKED and adjusted PRM by hand, DRMI then locked quickly and the camera spot looked good.
  • 01:27 UTC Observing, I ran a SQZ SCAN_ANG before going into observing and adjusted the OPO temperature while relocking

23:57 UTC lockloss
