BRS Dift Trends --Monthly FAMIS 26452

BRSs are not trending beyond their red thresh holds.

I assembled the 45MHz WFS unit in the optics lab. Assembly drawing: D1102002.

BOM:

• 1x Pre-assembled WFS body (D1102004 s/n016 Main Body, sealed & scribed as "S1300637" according to Corey's email)
• 1x Alumina spacer (D1102007)
• 1x Baseplate (D1102003)
• 1x Q3000 QPD
• 1x QPD hood (D1102006)
• 2x SHCS 1/4-20 X .75" 18-8 VENTED for the baseplate
• 2x 1/4" PEEK washer (D1102010) for the baseplate
• 4x SHCS 4-40 X 3/16" 18-8 Vented for the QPD hood (spec is BSHCS but SHCS works fine)

I confirmed that the baseplate and the WFS  body are electrically isolated from each other.

There were many black spots on the WFS body (2nd pic) as well as the aluminum foil used for wrapping (3rd pic). It seems that this is a result of rubbing of aluminum against aluminum. I cannot wipe it off but this should be aluminum powder and not some organic material.

QPD orientation is such that the tab on the can is at 1:30 o'clock position seen from the  front (4th pic). You cannot tell it from the picture but there's a hole punched to the side of the can.

Clean SMP - dirty SMA cables are in a bag inside the other clean room in the optics lab. DB25 interface cable is being made (or was made?) by Fil.

I found evidence of possible scattered light while looking at some data from a lock yesterday. Attached is a whitened spectrogram of 30 minutes of data starting at GPS 1425273749. It looks like the peaks are around 28, 38, and 48 Hz, but they are broad and it's hard to tell the exact frequency and spacing. Sheila thinks this may have appeared after Tuesday maintenance. Tagging detchar request so some tests can be run to help us track down the source!

I ran each chilled water pump at the Mid Stations in order to exercise their seals and bearings since these pumps are currently off for the season. This will cause the temperature trending of the loop water to show an decrease for a brief period. The Mid Stations chillers are currently shut down and will remain off until late Spring.

The goal is to execute all of this prep work and work-permits during upcoming maintenance period, Mar 11 2025 (with a back-up date of Mar 18 2025 if needed).

One last thing in prep for PM1 from the simulink model perspective: in addition to the "controls" model that Oli and I prepped yesterday (LHO:83196, LHO:83194), we need to add the HAM-A coil driver voltage monitors, the "VMONs" to the h1susauxh2 model. Currently the HAM12 wiring diagram D0902810-v10 is in conflict, indicating that these VMON channels are to be piped in 
    (1) on page 12 to "IN25-28" of the SUS-C4 AA chassis at U11,
    (2) on page 14 to "IN25-28" of the SUS-C3 AA chassis at U31
which either way feed into ADC0 of the h1susauxh2 IO chassis/computer. I'm 100% confident that (2) is right, and will redline the drawing.
    
As such, I've populated the new PM1 VMON filters with the ADC0 channels 24-27.

See attached screenshots.

I've tested that the model compiles successfully on the h1build machine.

The updates to the model have been committed to the userapps repo as
    /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/h1/models/
        h1susauxh2.mdl                            rev 30909.

No library parts were used or impacted.

Following the usual Cal meas wiki instructions , I ran a calibration broadband and simulines measurement, but the IFO lost lock near the very end of simulines. All test points were cleared with the script wrapup.

Just before calibration and commissoining time we lost lock. Just like the lock loss before it, the only sign of anything moving beforehand is a very small wiggle in ETMY output 10's of ms before. This might be nothing, but it's the only thing I've found so far.

Once we get back we will jump straight into unthermalized commissioning followed by a calibration.

MSR-AP-UNIFI is currently running this version:

I'm looking again at the OSEM estimator we want to try on PR3 - see https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-G2402303 for description of that idea.

We want to make a yaw estimator, because that should be the easiest one for which we have a hope of seeing some difference (vertical is probably easier, but you can't measure it). One thing which makes this hard is that the cross coupling from L drive to Y readout is large.

But - a quick comparison (first figure) shows that the L to Y coupling (yellow) does not match the Y to L coupling (purple). If this were a drive from the OSEMs, then this should match. This is actuatually a drive from the ISI, so it is not actually reciprocal - but the ideas are still relevant. For an OSEM drive - we know that mechanical systems are reciprocal, so, to the extent that yellow doesn't match purple, this coupling can not be in the mechanics.

Never-the-less, the similarity of the Length to Length and the Length to Yaw indicates that there is likely a great deal of cross-coupling in the OSEM sensors. We see that the Y response shows a bunch of the L resonances (L to L is the red TF); you drive L, and you see L in the Y signal. This smells of a coupling where the Y sensors see L motion. This is quite plausible if the two L OSEMs on the top mass are not calibrated correctly - because they are very close together, even a small scale-factor error will result in pretty big Y response to L motion.

Next - I did a quick fit (figure 2). I took the Y<-L TF (yellow, measured back in LHO alog 80863) and fit the L<-L TF to it (red), and then subtracted the L<-L component. The fit coefficient which gives the smallest response at the 1.59 Hz peak is about -0.85 rad/meter. 

In figure 3, you can see the result in green, which is generally much better. The big peak at 1.59 Hz is much smaller, and the peak at 0.64 is reduced. There is more from the peak at 0.75 (this is related to pitch. Why should the Yaw osems see Pitch motion? maybe transverse motion of the little flags? I don't know, and it's going to be a headache).

The improved Y<-L (green) and the original L<-Y (purple) still don't match, even though they are much closer than the original yellow/purple pair. Hence there is more which could be gained by someone with more cleverness and time than I have right now.

figure 4 - I've plotted just the Y<-Y and Y<-L improved.

Note - The units are wrong - the drive units are all meters or radians not forces and torques, and we know, because of the d-offset in the mounting of the top wires from the suspoint to the top mass, that a L drive of the ISI has first order L and P forces and torques on the top mass. I still need to calculate how much pitch motion we expect to see in the yaw reponse for the mode at 0.75 Hz.

In the meantime - this argues that the yaw motion of PR3 could be reduced quite a bit with a simple update to the SUS large triple model, I suggest a matrix similar to the CPS align in the ISI. I happen to have the PR3 model open right now because I'm trying to add the OSEM estimator parts to it. Look for an ECR in a day or two...

ECR E1700228

More preparation to make way for PM1 - Jeff and I went into the h1sushtts simulink model and added in PM1 and its necessary connections(h1sushtts before). It was basically a copy of the RM1 and RM2 control blocks, with the input ADC channels taking 24 - 27, and channels 8 - 11 on the DAC (h1sushtts after - PM1+output).

We also copied the RMs PCIe inputs, but the channels coming in from the TTL4C on HAM1 are going to be removed for the RMs when the ISI is installed on HAM1 and replaced with the new ISI channels, and so PM1 will never have the HAM1_TTL4C channels. Since we want to be able to compile and test the model before then, I have put in a constant 0 in place of the TTL4C channels for PM1 (h1sushtts after - IPC INP). Once we have the new ISI channels, we can add these connections in using those channels, as well as update the channels for the RMs.

Daniel just added in the new ASC channels for PM1 (83195), so I was able to successfully compile h1sushtts. It has not yet been installed.

The model file can be found in /opt/rtcds/userapps/release/sus/h1/models/, and the changes to h1sushtts.mdl have been committed to the svn as revision 30907.
